I seldom write pure lyrics, lyrics that do not resemble poetry in any sense. But with this song, the words flowed out of me so naturally as I composed beside my cousin Theodore. I remember that evening of composition very well, just as I remember the song very well. Truly, nothing can satisfy once one has been found by the One who finds.
Time and time again,
I’ve felt a longing deep within,
Trying hard to find my place
Within this world of sin,
Time and time again,
I’ve searched my dreams all over
Saw them formed, fulfilled, and lost…
Until the day I said
I couldn’t do it any more,
His love called and restored me
To all I should be living for.
And so I found by being found,
And I was freed by being bound,
And bound to Him I’ll always be,
For in His goodness I am free.
And nothing, nothing in the world
Could ever satisfy,
For Jesus, He is everything
I’d ever want in life.
