430: Life Is A Journey; Long Is The Road

Book:   2015 Song Book
Chapter:   Our Response to God, Salvation, Invitation and Challenge

1.
LIFE is a journey; long is the road,
And when the noontide is high
Souls that are weary faint 'neath their load,
Long for the waters, and cry:

The well is deep and I require
A draught of the water of life,
But none can quench my soul's desire
For a draught of the water of life;
Till one draws near who the cry will heed,
Helper of men in their time of need,
And I, believing, find indeed
That Christ is the water of life.

2.
Life is a seeking, life is a quest,
Eager and longing desire;
Unto the true things, unto the best,
Godward our spirits aspire.

3.
Life is a finding; vain wanderings cease
When from the Savior we claim
All we have longed for, solace and peace,
And we have life in His name.
