Longing for reality.

In whate'er man doth contrive,
Is the longing for fulfillment;
For this man doth ever strive.

How long could man be sustained?
Thus within the old creation
Man's existence is maintained.

It's the bridge of space and time,
Till God brings forth new creation,
His eternal realm sublime.

Sown within the heart of man;
Working throughout all the ages,
Is for God's eternal plan.

Deep in man's a God-shaped vacuum,
Something only God can fill,
There's a human spirit longing
To know God's eternal will.

Vanity of vanities
But th'eternal life assuageth
Thirsty sinners who believe.

Though the nations think they're seeking
Joy, peace, love, security,
Christ alone can fill their longing,
As the one reality.
