From the recording Constant Running River
This song captures the restless spirit of the seeker. It’s a heartfelt exploration of striving for meaning, learning from mistakes, and reaching for divine guidance. The refrain, “Look into my heart and see the searching man,” is both a personal plea and an invitation for listeners to reflect on their own spiritual quests. The melody is gentle yet persistent, like the inner journey itself.
Lyrics
When I lie down in bed at night I’m alone as my soul takes flight
When I arise I thank the Lord for another chance to praise Him more
Shelter me with love cover me with peace offer me Your hand make me worthy
Look into my heart and see the searching man
This whole world is a passing moment all our plans are history
And tomorrow is just a dream like a treasure buried in the sea
Shelter me with love cover me with peace offer me Your hand make me worthy
Look into my heart and see the searching man
If I fail because I can’t make the grade look into my heart and see
When I fall because I can’t take the pain extend Your hand to me
I try to live in the moment learning things as I go along
Kick and scream like a child until the lesson is finally learned
Shelter me with love cover me with peace offer me Your hand make me worthy
Offer me Your hand make me worthy
Look into my heart and see the searching man
