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?
