Lately I wonder as time hurries on
what have I done with the days come and gone?
and I remember how once I was drawn
into Your sanctuary

When did I wander so far away?
How did I get here? Why did I stray?
And can I ever find my way
back to Your sanctuary?

Nothing have I on earth but You
no one but You in heaven
so why do I continue to do everything else
but come to You?

All of my folly I finally see
I've nowhere to hide, I've no place to flee
if I ran to You, would You run to me
out from Your sanctuary?

Nothing have I on earth but You
no one but You in heaven
so why would I continue to do anything else
but come to You?

I will remember what You did for me
climbing that hill to die on that tree
there I will go and bend my knee
There I'll find sanctuary
Oh I'll give You thanks for Your sanctuary.

Music and lyrics by: Marty Goetz

I often listen to this song and feel as if it is the very cry of my heart. There is a Great High Priest in heaven who loves me (and you) so desperately and yet this life has so many distractions that pull and tug me in so many different directions. Why do I struggle to keep my focus? How do I fight to keep my focus? Why is it that I'm always running in the opposite direction?
