Looking Around Poem by Donna Lee Womack

Looking around, looking around;
I'm looking around for something.
Looking around, looking around;
I'm looking for that something.

Better to be for you; for me,
that we find for what we're looking;
Than to miss that train that calls our name,
Jesus Christ we have to catch Him.
I said, looking around; I've made my ground,
not settling for the less;
Holding up my head,
I'll just keep on moving,
to get out of all my mess.

I've made it to now;
old trails followed me;
but God made over my being;
In me; from Him; to me you see;
because seeing is believing.

I've obtained the hope God set aside;
He's held my peace; I'm free:
My time has come to rest in Him;
for in Christ we must abide.

Looking around, looking around;
I'm not looking hard no more;
because I found that perfect someone,
and it's Christ whom I adore.
