It’s in the disconnection

The feeling that you are here but you are not really here

The feeling that you know but you don’t really know

The pulling away from who you were meant to be

The pulling away from your soul

The yearning to be known, to be seen

The yearning to be accepted for who you really are

The heartache, the pain, the conflict, the strife

The confusion from being seduced by multiple things

The confusion from all the noise

The longing for something more compelling

The longing for someone who will love you unconditionally

A heart that yearns for one

One way, one hope, one truth, one love

And he already came

He was here, he was really here

Search no more, look no further

He has come to mend the disconnection

To see you for who you really are

To give you true freedom

To bring you back to yourself

To heal the heartache, the pain, the conflict, the strife

To offer you unconditional love

To set your heart in one direction

He is the way, the truth, and the life

Our only hope in a dark world

In this life, things may not always be sweet

But his promises are eternal


So, what are you waiting for?

Come back to the lover of your soul

Come back to your first love

His name Jesus!
