Where's the answer?

1
Where's the answer? There must be more for me.
Is this all to life—an empty vanity?
Day by day and year by year go by.
Am I just a man, a man just born to die?
  Where's the answer? Oh I'm so empty
And plagued by this vanity.
Deep inside me, My conscience tells me:
I need another destiny.
2
I convinced my friends that everything's alright,
That my life and future and everything's so bright.
But a sense inside me, my friends, I can't deny,
Warning deep inside me that I was living a lie.
  Where's the answer? Oh I'm so empty
And plagued by this vanity.
Deep inside me, My conscience tells me:
I need another destiny.
3
The world and its glitter left me anxious, dark, and bitter,
Always yearning, my friends, is there something better?
And religion, my friends, is just a Sunday game—
Dead teachings and doctrines will leave you just the same.
  Where's the answer? Oh I'm so empty
And plagued by this vanity.
Deep inside me, My conscience tells me:
I need another destiny.
4
Oh God, where are You? I need You desperately!
Oh God, who are You? Why don't You answer me?
The heavens declare You and the earth shows Your beauty.
But I'm a man. Oh God, I'm so empty!
  Lord, have mercy! I'm crying for You!
Please hear! Are you really true?
I'm dark and lonely. You're far, far from me.
Oh Lord, I need You desperately!
5
One day a friend told me that Jesus is the Lord.
To my great surprise, it's written in the Word.
They asked me to believe You. Your name I once blasphemed.
Dear Lord, You saved me just by calling on Your name.
  Oh, Lord Jesus, dear Son, so glorious,
I'm cleansed and You entered into me.
Oh, Lord Jesus, Your name most precious!
Your Person, dear Lord, I now possess.

It's not by coincidence.

THE LORD,  journeyed the longest journey just to reach us. He as God became a man, left His glory to be a lowly man, to bind our wounds and to pour oil and wine upon it and then He brings us to the “inn” to be taken care of. (Luke 10:33)

How I treasure this wonderful Person, who is now living inside of me.

Thank you Lord, for saving me from vanity.

Now I am enjoying You as my eternal portion.

God-man Saviour!

I do praise You.

i was in my low spirit and i really need God's answer. When i was browsing hymnal thru this site and found this song. It touches me and reminded me to wait for God's answer. He will never leave me nor ignore me. He is not far from me yet He is inside my heart. God I love You. Amen.
