Lyrics

[Verse 1]
All the times that I worked hard
Because I believed
That life could have meaning
Through things I've achieved
You knew
I was looking for You
[Verse 2]
Every time I thought romance
Might fill up the hole
That incomplete feeling
Still ached in my soul
Oh, You knew
I was looking for You
[Chorus]
Down a hundred highways of empty pursuit
And a thousand foolish things I went through
Didn't know it back then but now I do
I was looking for You
I was looking for You
[Verse 3]
When I couldn't find comfort
In the things I could buy
When the party was over
And the bottle was dry
Oh, You knew
I was looking for You
Yes, I was searching
Oh, and I was searching
I was searching
[Chorus]
Down a hundred highways of empty pursuit
And a thousand foolish things I went through
And a thousand foolish things I went through
Didn't know it back then but now I do
I was looking for You
I was looking for
I was looking for You
[Bridge]
Through the canyons and the heartaches
And the valleys of the pain
And down those pathways of full of pleasure
And those dead end roads of shame
Oh, I couldn't name the hunger
That I tried to satisfy
[Chorus]
Down a hundred highways of empty pursuit
And a thousand foolish things I went through
In a moment, looked up from down on my knees
In a moment, looked up from down on my knees
And I cried out to Heaven, I could finally see
See Jesus
Jesus, Jesus, I know it's true
All of my life, I was looking for You
[Outro]
Jesus
