Our longing - 2002-11-17
Eyes seeking to glimpse the Father's face
Perceive its majestic completeness of love
Arms reaching for the Throne of Grace
Open to receive blessings wrapped and named
The Holy Comforter breathing love into Spiritual ears
Pours encouragement into the hearts of God's children
And souls communing with Most High God
Drink from undiluted streams of living Word
Day and night, clean lips declare pure praise
Unmixed hearts worshipping in Spirit and in Truth
The saints joining together to bless His heart
Bringing worship in Spirit and Truth
And patiently He sits,
Smiling as His children declare their love,
The Father who knows them watches,
As loving faces shine in reflected glory
And as the Sun goes down,
The brightness of God lights up their souls
As the children dance in joy of the Father,
Never tiring of their blissful song,
He surveys all that He has made new,
And He is pleased
Fully pleased
Oh Lord may we dwell in Your presence?
Oh Lord may we know the fullness of Your grace?
Our King, our Master, our Saviour our Father
All we have we lay before you
Hold use close Father for feeble is our will,
Weak our minds and fallible our strength,
Keep us clinging to that Hope of Salvation
That You have assured to those you chose
For nothing of this life is of worth
How we long to know your face!
