Finding Purpose

A quiet contentment 
A breath and a pause  
Resting not rushing 
All the day long 

No matter the action 
One’s called to do 
With purposed direction 
Contentment comes too 

So long I’d been searching
Throughout this vast world 
Discover my purpose 
Find that that does fill 

The longing inside me
Would not go away
Through searching life deeply
I’ve found that what stays 

That grows and expands me 
No matter the course 
Upholds and infuses 
A life-giving force 

I’ve found it, I witness 
Am counting the cost
Life forever I’m living 
Redeemed by Christ’s Cross
