Faith

I was recently reminded of a time a couple of years ago when I went to visit with my pastor.  I was having what I might consider to be a crisis of faith. 
The following Sunday I went to church by myself.  Which I normally do not like to do, but I really wanted to and needed to hear God's word that day. My pastor, who nearly always seems to be speaking right to me literally did that Sunday when he sang this song during worship.  I wish I could find a recording of it to share here, because it was so powerful to hear. 

I STILL HAVEN'T FOUND WHAT I'M LOOKING FOR
(A Clayton, D Evans, P Hewson, L Mullen / Universal Music)
 
I have climbed highest mountains
I have run through these fields
Only to be with you
Only to be with you
 
I have run, I have crawled
I have scaled these city walls
These city walls
And, yes, I'm still running
 
But I still haven't found what I'm looking for
No I still haven't found what I'm looking for
 
And I believe in the kingdom come
Where all the colors bleed into one
Bleed into one
Oh yes I believe
 
You took my cross
Took my pain
Carried my sin
And my shame
And my shame, oh yes I believe
 
But I still haven't found what I'm looking for
No I still haven't found what I'm looking for
 
So open the eyes of my heart Lord
Open the eyes of my heart
I want to see you, I want to see you
 
So open the eyes of my heart Lord
Open the eyes of my heart
I want to see you, I want to see you
 
'Cause I still haven't found what I'm looking for
No I still haven't found what I'm looking for
