3:22-24 CS Lewis song
If I find in myself desires nothing in this world can satisfy,
I can only conclude that I was not made for here

• Problem: If the flesh that I fight is at best only light and momentary,
then of course I'll feel nude when to where I'm destined I'm compared

– We’ve been [CHORUS:]

Building 429
Speak to me in the light of the dawn
Mercy comes with the morning
– kicked out of All I know is I’m not home yet,
I will sigh and with all creation groan as I wait for hope to come for me

– our home & Am I lost or just less found? On the straight or on the roundabout of the wrong way?
This is not where I belong…
is this a soul that stirs in me, is it breaking free, wanting to come alive?
Cause my comfort would prefer for me to be numb
– the tree of life! And avoid the impending birth of who I was born to become

[BRIDGE:]
U2
For we, we are not long here
Our time is but a breath, so we better breathe it

I still haven’t found what I’m

And I, I was made to live, I was made to love, I was made to know you
Hope is coming for me
Hope, He's coming 
looking for…
 Whom have I in heaven but you? And
there is nothing on earth that I desire
besides you—psa 73

Imagine there’s no heaven Imagine there’s no possessions
It’s easy if you try, No hell below us
Above us only sky
I wonder if you can
Imagine all the people living for today . . . No need for greed or hunger
Oh the brotherhood of man
You may say I’m a dreamer Imagine all the people,
But I’m not the only one Sharing all the world.
I hope someday you’ll join us
And the world will be as one.
You may say I’m a dreamer
Imagine there’s no countries, It isn’t hard to do But I’m not the only one
Nothing to kill or die for And no religion too I hope someday you’ll join us
Imagine all the people living life in peace... And the world will be as one.
