Longing For Your Return! by Danette Kettwich © 2008 Sometimes the longing is so great That I can hardly stand the wait, Caught in this dark shadow of a valley. I long Lord, for Your sweet embrace I long to see you face to face. To see Your triumphant finale. Once and for all eternity Under Your wings of amity I long for You my God, my King I long with yearning oh so deep Lift me from human nature's sleep. Where in Holy presence I will sing. I have a longing so deep, so deep, so deep for Your return! Though I know you have plans for me There's somewhere I would rather be. Keep me focused on this job at hand. Your staff and rod will comfort me Until the trumpet calls finally, Taking me from this dry desert land. Someday in Your home I will live Endless praise then my lips will give When will this life here finally succumb? Feeling the presence of Your grace Anointing oil runs down my face. Lord, I long so, for that day to come. I have a longing so deep, so deep, so deep for Your return! I sit here and I start to complain Cause and effect of choices remain. My longing deep, Christ, Your grace is wide Breaking free from this life confined Leaving humanity behind I want to be there Lord, by Your side. The right choices Lord, seem so hard We're weary and we're battle scarred Humankind filled without any concern Wrong choices are so easy to make How much rebellion will You take? I have a longing deep for your return. I have a longing so deep, so deep, so deep for Your return! |
