All the times that I worked hard because I believed
That life could have meaning through things I've achieved
You knew I was lookin' for You
Every time I thought romance might fill up the hole
That incomplete feeling still ached in my soul
Oh, You knew I was lookin' for You
Down a hundred highways of empty pursuit
And a thousand foolish things I went through
Didn't know it back then but now I do
I was lookin' for You, I was lookin' for You
When I couldn't find comfort in the things I could buy
When the party was over and the bottle was dry
Oh, You knew I was lookin' for You
Oh, and I went searching
Down a hundred highways of empty pursuit
And a thousand foolish things I went through
Didn't know it back then but now I do
I was lookin' for You, I was lookin' for You
Through the canyons and the heartaches
And the valleys of pain
Down those pathways full of pleasure
And those dead end roads of shame
Oh, I couldn't name the hunger
That I tried to satisfy
Down a hundred highways of empty pursuit
And a thousand foolish things I went through
In a moment I looked up from down on my knees
And I cried out to Heaven, I could finally see
Jesus, Jesus, I know it's true
All of my life I was lookin' for You
