I’ve searched the whole world over
To find somethin’ to set me free.
I’ve searched every corner
For somethin’ to meet my needs.
Even tried LSD.
I looked into every answer,
Every road I could find.
Read a little here and there,
Still couldn’t ease my mind.
Still I kept on searchin’.
I saw an open window,
Thought I’d take a peek.
I saw this old guy prayin’
With a Jesus freak.
Someone get me out’a here!
He started chasin’ me,
Wavin’ his Bible.
He finally caught up with me
After runnin’ about a mile.
Someone get this guy off’a me!
I didn’t have to look no more.
I found Jesus—He held the key.
After I got up off the floor,
Jesus, He set me free.
Didn’t have to look no more.
If you’ve searched every corner
For somethin’ to set you free,
If you’ve searched the whole world over
For somethin’ to meet your needs,
Jesus can set you free,
Just like He did me.
Jesus can set you free,
Just like He did me.
Didn’t have to look no more…
