LoveMusic! Love For His People – Chicago – “(I’VE BEEN) SEARCHING SO LONG” with Lyrics
It helped in my search for the Lord’s will in my life. (Yes, the Lord used a secular song!)
Don’t you have a special movie, song, or book that wouldn’t be classified as “religious, holy, or even Christian”, but you know the Lord Jesus used it to do something He wanted done in your life. It probably drew you closer to Him.
The Lord God Almighty can, and will use many things in our life to reveal Himself to us. He does it all the time with those “of the world”, especially through movies (yes, Hollywood movies), because His love is that strong for the lost, and especially for you and I.
If you have not heard the song before, listen to the lyrics (or read them as provided.) Maybe you too have been searching, and the Lord will use this to speak to your heart.

“(I’ve Been) Searchin’ So Long”
As my life goes on I believe
Somehow something’s changed
Something deep inside
Ooh a part of me
There’s a strange new light in my eyes
Things I’ve never known
Changin’ my life
Changin’ me
I’ve been searchin’
So long
To find an answer
Now I know my life has meaning
Ow oh
Now I see myself as I am
Feeling very free
Life is everything
Ooh it’s meant to be
When my tears have come to an end
I will understand
What I left behind
Part of me
I’ve been searching
So long
To find and answer
Now I know my life has meaning
Woah woah
Searching
Don’t you know I’m hell yeah
For an answer
To the question
Oh yeah
For our minds
Baby
Baby it’s true
It’s only natural
It’s only natural baby, yeah
Good things
In life
Take a long time
yeah yeah
