When I Was Ready to Listen

Lyrics

When my life was empty, I tried so hard to be filled Smiling eyes were fading, and the laughter had been stilled Reaching out so desperately to fill the inner need That we all are trying to satisfy, but none of us succeed Trying every substitute for love that I could find Temporary pleasures that would keep me for a time But when each thrill was over, my sorrow would increase For nothing that I tried had ever brought me lasting peace And thеn, You came to me When I was rеady to listen Dissolved the mystery When I was ready to listen And I knew Your name And I knew Your face And I knew I belonged to You Jesus Jesus Jesus Jesus
