Chasing of the Wind

Every heart is filled with longing,
To be free from all life’s pain.
Yet the search through earthly pleasures,
Always ends in vain.
Only God who made the heavens,
Can satisfy our souls.
Apart from Him and all His meaning,
All things fail as they begin.
And hearts deceived,
Can only know.
A chasing of the wind.

All achievements, all possessions,
All with time return to dust.
Only God can be our reason,
For deep and quiet trust.
He will guard us from the dangers,
That gladly make men fools.
Apart from Him and all His meaning,
All things fail as they begin.
And hearts deceived,
Can only know,
A chasing of the wind,
A chasing of the wind.

Why do we live without Jesus?
Why do we waste another day?
He is the life that sustains us,
The only hope for us today.
So tell me, why do we live,
Why do we live without Him?

“Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap. For he who sows to his flesh will of the flesh reap corruption, but he who sows to the Spirit will of the Spirit reap everlasting life.” Galatians 6:6-7 (NKJV)
