I looked for God in holy places
I looked for him in busy streets
I searched each day at work and play
Where e’er I searched he wasn’t there.
Oh where is God? Oh where, oh where?
I searched for him through hill and valley
Through mountains, deserts, sea to sea
Looked thrugh forests, fields and farmland
I searched and searched, he wasn’t there.
Where are you God? Please tell me, where?
I looked for him in far off places
I search by land by air and sea
Search the faces of the races
I could not find him anywhere
Oh where is God? I know not where.
I grew weary from my searching
And fell upon my knees in prayer
Ah, at last my search was over
Yes, I found God inside my heart
And now I see him everywhere.
