I sought, and looked, and found not love
Only confusion, which brought no peace
On the wrong side, I pled to the judge for mercy
He turned a deaf eye and gave no mercy
Awaiting my sentence brought no peace
That’s what I get for trying on my own for love
Where, oh where, might I find some peace?
Not in front of this man who shows no mercy
My heart is empty, wanting to love
I came to Jesus, who showed me love, peace, and mercy.
