Heart of the Matter

We’re born with hearts that have a piece missing.
Profound emptiness that’s never ending
Seeking, searching, trying anything to fill
Unable to stop, overcoming our will

Pleasure, people, power, things without end
Nothing works no matter how much we spend
An endless hunger that we only feed
Our lives centered upon this boundless need

What is the missing piece? What do we lack?
The answer is our origin, we must go back
Born flesh and blood, but spiritual too
Body and soul, each with needs to pursue

If you seek of this world and cannot find
Look beyond this world with heart and mind
Like seeks like. Our soul seeks God’s divine love
Stop looking down. Raise your eyes and seek above

Knock, the door will open. Seek and you’ll find
the missing peace that fills both heart and mind.
God’s love will mend your heart making you whole
Nourishing your spirit, healing your soul
