What is our ultimate concern?
Where is the centre of each soul?
What are the things that matter most?
What single sense will make us whole?

We recognize the depth of love,
the grace that held us from our birth,
but all too soon we lose our grasp
and other things have greater worth.

The things we own, the clothes we wear,
usurp the place that God should hold,
become our idols, cloak our minds
as if our faith was lost or sold.

Verses 4-5 follow

Tune: MELCOMBE
