What legacy do you wish to make?

The entire set of lyrics from Hillsong United's song "The Fathers Heart" I find powerful, however I was particularly taken in by the following phrase:

"There's no other who can love me like You do
And forever I keep running back to You"

What fools we are to run after power, success, friendships, satisfaction from only a relationship, approval from men. Do these things not just stay for a while and then run away from you? Yet, I am taken in by them, day after day and week after week. I keep believing them. There is a high for a short period, but they are not there to stay with you for the long haul. But there is one who not only promises to be there with you for the long haul, but has already proven that he will do so by dying for you.

Lord, this is a prayer for my strength and my flesh are weak:

There's no other who can love me like You do
And forever I keep running back to You"

And snippets of more that stand out to me:

"When the walls close in around me
Let Your glory light the darkness of my night
...
May I walk with You by faith and not by sight
...
Greater love I have not found it
Oh by mercy You have eased this troubled mind
Open hearted I will search and I will find

Humble king You go before me
..
There's no other who can love me like You do
And forever I keep running back to You
