Lord, I’m longing to be in the light of your glory I’m yearning to kneel at the foot of your throne I hunger and thirst for your presence oh Lord My soul longs for you, my spirit thirsts for you Oh Lord My God How I wish I could spend just one day with you To walk hand in hand down the heavenly streets Just the two of us how beautiful and wonderful it would be There is no greater feeling than the feeling I get when we are in synch I can almost hear the trumpets blaring and joy fills the air The feeling I get when you and I dance Nothing compares Lord. Nothing comes close. You are an oasis when I’m lost in the desert place, You are a ray of light on a cloudy day. Yours is the love of a father for his child Yours are the hands that are rough and calloused with work yet soft, strong and gentle Yours are the eyes that have taken in so much joy, so much suffering and everything in between And still they are full of love, full of life and. They are kind eyes Yours are the feet travelling many miles to find the lost again Yours are the arms stretching out to hold the world close to you Yours the heart with room enough for all and endless love Yours is the way: the journey we take, the path we walk, the direction we try to follow Yours is the truth: this is what we seek. We want to know truth, to know you. The truth that sets men free Yours is the life: trying to imitate how you lived, loved. And the eternal life of a soul that rests in God. You are peace when this world is at war You are love when there seems nothing but hate You are life for my soul like the air that I breathe You are strength when I am at my weakest You are good when my life is anything but You are hope in times of great despair You are light to drive away the darkness You are true in the midst of many lies You are perfect in my perfect imperfections You are my God and I Am YOURS

(Jesus) You Are You are a light in the darkness and hope in despair You are a friend when it seems no one else cares You lift me up when I am down, you are strong when I am weak When I am scared and alone it is you that I seek It is you that I run to or sometimes just crawl When it's too much to bear and I can't carry it all You take it away or give me grace and strength to endure Nothing will happen today that you and I can't handle together I am assured I trust you Lord, but I often doubt Sometimes I wish you wouldn't whisper, you'd shout My faith, like young legs, are eager but unsteady You tell me to take a leap of faith and fly, but I'm not sure I'm ready You are the wind beneath my wings You lift me up so I can soar In you I experience what true joy and peace brings I live like the mountains grounded yet reaching Like the mighty trees who drop roots to drink deep of life giving springs Help me thirst mightily for your teachings and the water of life You are my healer when I'm injured, a sword to help me fight You go before me as a shield you're angels guard me through the night Sometimes I can't understand the wisdom of your plan I am small and I am only one and I don't know that I can The future is uncertain and I don't know what's in store But Jesus be my shepherd and I'll want for nothing more AMEN
