I Looked for Love

I looked for love in the red rose so small

I looked for love in the green tree so tall

But the red rose had its thorns

And the green tree was a cross

And my searching for love was a total loss

I looked for love in a friendly face so true

I looked for love in the creed I once knew

Well my friend just called me friend

And he said I'm searching too

And the creed only told me what I couldn't do.

Then one day I heard a story of love

Like I've never known

how God gave His son to save me

and wanted me for His own

His own, His very own.

And now I know what it means to belong

Not lost in the crowd swept along by the throng

But to Him Who gave His life

Every longing to fulfill and I know

That He loves me and He always will.
