Leah longed for something more
Yearning to be loved, adored
To be valued, to be seen
Not chosen last for every team
Craving someone on her side
To be more than Jacob's less-loved bride
Leah longed
Jonah jumped when life got tough
When his mistakes all added up
To more than he could face alone
He ran fast and hard from God's holy throne
But rather than return, repent
And do the job for which he was sent
Jonah jumped
Caleb cried when he heard the news
That those who followed him refused
To claim the land of milk and honey
The people grumbled, fled and then he
Turned his back on the promised land
To facethe barren desert sand
Caleb cried
Samson settled for second best
Lust of the eyes, and lust of the flesh
No discipline, no self-control
Just fleeting pleasures for his soul
He only chased what stoked his pride
But he was never satisfied
Samson settled
Sometimes I long, I jump, I cry
I settle, I am not satisfied
But every single time I do
It's because I've taken my eyes off you
So tune my ears to hear your voice
And help my heart to make the choice
To sit at your feet, to do your will
To serve you every day until
I lose my desire to wander, roam
And you come back to take me home
