"For the eyes of the Lord range throughout the earth
to strengthen those whose hearts are fully committed to him." (2 Chronicles 16:9a)
I’m searching for someone
who is willing to believe
that greatness is given
to those who receive.
They must believe once again
that they can run with the horses
and call on God’s power
to summon his forces.
I want someone
with a gleam in their eye―
with their feet on the ground
and their head in the sky.
Where is the one
who will forsake all others
for the love of God
and the sake of another?
Find me the one
who counts everything a loss―
save the message of Jesus
and his death on the cross!
I’m searching for someone
who knows who they are —
who will drive out demons
and cast them afar.
Now I’ve caught your eye—
are you the one?
Tell me you’re willing
to follow my Son.
Are you the one
who is willing to be great—
who will overcome fear
for destiny’s sake?
Remember who you are;
remember why you’re here—
you’re a child of God,
so overcome fear!
