1 I sought a flag to follow
A cause for which to stand,
I sought a valiant leader
Who could my love command;
I sought a stirring challenge,
Some noble work to try,
To give my life fulfillment,
My dreams to satisfy.

Refrain:
I found them all in Jesus,
The Life, the Truth, the Way;
Beneath His flag I’ll take my stand
And follow Him today.

2 I sought a ringing answer
For all my doubts inside
A torch of truth uplifted
My searching steps to guide;
I sought a word of wisdom,
A true authority.
I sought to know life’s purpose,
To solve its mystery. [Refrain]

3 I sought for satisfaction
For yearning deep within,
I sought for full deliv’rance
From chains of guilt and sin;
I sought for peace and pardon,
For freedom from my fears,
I sought a hope to cling to
Beyond these passing years. [Refrain]
