21919. I LONG
Lyrics & Stanzas
4 portions
Verse 1
A man pained in hunger, a morsel he seeks. A parched, thirsty woman longs something to drink. But there's more I long for 'til this life is done. I long for You, Father, and Your blessed Son.
Verse 2
I long for Your presence to swell in my soul; For seeking the good way, for Your paths of old. For Your great forgiveness thru His saving blood; For Your peace and mercy You give from above.
Verse 3
I long for the goodness I see in You, Lord; For greater devotion than ever before. I long for the comfort that comes when I pray; For living with You, Lord on that glorious day.
Chorus
I long for Your song, for Your holy Word, For my time alone with You, precious Lord. For Your dear embrace, for Your saving grace. For Your tender love, for Your home above, I long.
