Desperate

There are moments when I cling to You
Desperate and wanton
To feel Your presence sing in me
For just a moment

I long for You
I crave Your spirit
To hear Your voice, see Your face
Touch the holes in Your hands

Nothing else fills me like this
Nothing compares
Who is as endless, enormous, eternal?
Only You
Only You

The veil is lifted for a moment
And I am taken to my knees
Forehead pressed on fallen leaves
My King is before me
My beautiful King

Let me live here in Your presence
Let me never feel that hunger again
Let me wrap myself in Your love
And never let it go

Oh my God, I can’t be without You
I am desperate, desperate
For the source of my being
The lover of my soul

Must I open my eyes and live out there
In that alien world that shuts you out?
Do I have to keep trekking through that wilderness
Instead of staying lost in You?

But you’ve asked me, to listen
To move as you speak
You’ve asked me to tell them the truth
To reveal what has been revealed to me
So that their hunger will also be filled

Give me strength Lord God
Give me wisdom and courage
I am weak here on this foreign soil
Be my compass, my lighthouse
My sun and my moon
Direct my tongue and my paths
So that I glorify You
