It was the year 1990 and I was still serving my full-time national service with 38SCE. This was one of the songs that hit the top 10 on 98.7 FM that year. Very popular indeed. But few people knew that this song by Michael W Smith was actually a gospel song. It was also a song which expressed exactly how I felt that time when I was trying to figure out my place and purpose on this earth. And so, when I first heard this song, it became sort of my personal prayer by singing it to God whenever I was booking in on Sunday night, when I was out in the field for exercise, when I was all alone by myself ...
For almost 20 years thereafter, the journey had its ups and downs. But overall, it ended up pretty fruitful and enriching in many ways.
And once in a while, I'll still sing this to Him in the darkest of nights ... but this time, it is more to remind myself that if He has brought me thus far, I can still trust Him to see me through for the rest of my journey, though I can't see what lies ahead or when will this journey end.
And if you are looking for your place in this world, look no further than Jesus, the alpha and the omega, the first and the last, the beginning and the end. He will see you through if you wholly surrender your life to Jesus and let Him be the Lord of your life.

Feels like I'm ...
Looking for a reason, roaming through the night to find
My place in this world, my place in this world

My place in this world, my place in this world
If there are millions down on their knees
Among the many can You still hear me
Hear me asking where do I belong
Is there a vision that I can call my own
Show me I'm ...
Looking for a reason, roaming through the night to find
My place in this world, my place in this world
Not a lot to lean on, I ne
