In each heart there is a longing   In each soul a desperate cry   To know if life for some true meaning   Or do we simply live an' die      Earthly pleasures and possessions   Leave the sinking spirit dry   In each heart there is a longing   Only Jesus satisfies      In each life there comes the question   Is there more than meets the eye   And what will we see of the eternal   When the well of days run dry?      So we search with so few finding   The difference between truth and lies   While in each heart there is a longing   Only Jesus satisfies      Mystery on a hillside   The purest love expressed   Guilty lips cry forgive me   In that moment I found rest      So we search with so few finding   The difference between truth and lies   While in each heart there is a longing   Only Jesus satisfies   While in each heart there is a longing   Only Jesus satisfies
