hanomalee - the search for satisfaction lyrics

chorus
the world will try to fill
the hole inside your soul
but it will only leave you
as before
it will never make you whole
yeah
we all searching for satisfaction
under the sun
but it can only be found
in the maker of the sun

verse 1
“if only we gain the world
we’ll be satisfied”
but that’s far from the case
i know some folks who denied themselves
nothing their eyes desired
still trying to find the answer
to the question
“how much is enough?”
sometimes i ask myself
what’s the point of a pointless chase?
the desire for satisfaction ain’t wrong
but we’ve been looking in the wrong place
don’t realize
we on a merry go round
on a quest for rest
where it can never be found
so we find ourselves
grasping at the wind
only to end up empty+handed
everything here is vain
nothing under the sun
can offer you satisfaction
we let these gifts reign on the
throne of our hearts to be honest
instead of the king of kings
these things promises to fill
the void inside us
we put all our trust in these things
but they never quite keep their promise
you can be filthy rich
and still be poor in your soul
fame, acclaim and success
cannot afford everlasting joy
but shallow happiness
can’t find the meaning we seek
in drugs, s+x, relationships
they lead to emptiness
knowledge and power might
give you peace;
yeah the type the world gives
the type hanging on the
rope of circumstances
but never the type that
passes all understanding
it’s the same old story
utterly meaningless
it’s all weariness
it all fades
“things” don’t change
so eventually we get bored
we keep wanting bigger, newer, cooler, better stuffs
our hearts keeps screaming for more
like a hungry ghost or a shrew
you just can’t get enough
cos all of these stuffs
ain’t meant to fill you up
and how can you get enough
of what you don’t really want?
as far as i can see
it will always end in discontent
this finite world will constantly fail
trying to fulfill that infinite desire
man don’t you see the disconnect?
and i ain’t talking about complete
detachment from the world
or asceticism
deep down
our souls hunger and thirst for
something more;
something that lasts forever
i know what we yearning for
god is the only one that lasts forever
he’s always enough
he’s all that you ever need
when your life is centered in christ
you discover who god created you to be
man was not designed to be
satisfied apart from god
that’s the truth
thou has made us for thyself
our souls are forever restless
till it rest in you
chorus
the world will try to fill
the hole inside your soul
but it will only leave you
as before
it will never make you whole
yeah
we all searching for satisfaction
under the sun
but it can only be found
in the maker of the sun

verse 2
if god has placed eternity in our hearts
then it explains
we were made for another world;
made for more than life under the sun
can’t find the meaning of life in life
itself
it’s time we set our eyes on the son
we have an inner thirst
only living water can slake
nothing else ever works
the more we drink from the cup
of the world
the more we dying of thirst
so labour not for the bread
wey go perish
but for the bread wey go last
till eternal life
and fixing your heart to the right
treasure
and treasuring the right things are
not alike
your heart will always be where
your treasure is
so where do your treasures lie?
it’s such a shame
we are far too easily pleased
settling for crumbs
when we should be at the table
having a feast
it’s foolish to ask the world
for something only god can give
understand fulfilment
and the power to enjoy his gifts
solely comes from him
so without god
what’s the purpose of life
under the sun?
what do we profit in all our
toil and strife under the sun?
and always carry in your head;
bear in mind
naked we came from our
mother’s womb
naked we leave
all that we amass
all that we keep
will all be left behind
at the time
we fall into deep sleep
this is a wake up call
to rethink what we’re living for
take off the rose colored glasses
see through a different view;
through this sober lens
i’m prescribing you
all there is to life
is more than what we see
don’t be distracted
by what is seen
that you lose sight
of what is unseen
in the end
the world along with it’s desires
will pass
only those who do the will of god
will last
if you ask me “what it means to live?”
fear god and keep his commands
for this is the whole duty of man
it don’t matter what earthly gain
if your soul you lose
everything you obtain
will prove but vain
if christ you do not choose
man was not designed to be
satisfied apart from god
that’s the truth
you have made us for yourself
our souls are forever restless
till it rest in you
chorus
the world will try to fill
the hole inside your soul
but it will only leave you
as before
it will never make you whole
yeah
we all searching for satisfaction
under the sun
but it can only be found
in the maker of the sun
