Longing

Lord, I'm thirsting in my soul
for Your Word to make me whole
There's no other one so dear
I long to feel You near.

Lord, I'm reaching out to You
trusting that You'll see me through
there's so much I try to do
it's nothing without You.

It's long the wait from heaven's gate
to get a message to You
Oh, God, You see inside of me
but, there are times I don't seem to get through.

Oh, Lord, I want to hear from You.
I can't make sense of all You do.
To see a glimpse come shining through
I need to feel You touch anew.

I see a glimpse come shining through
I'm nothing without You
No, nothing without You...
