Song Lyrics

---

You hold me in Your arms
And I’m holding on so tight
I can’t deny You when You call out to me
My heart beats with Yours
Set to the rhythm of Your love
I’m bound to You through this soul You have set free
There’s a craving in me that I cannot hide
I can’t keep away from You for this love inside

I’m overwhelmed, oh, with this longing
To see Your face, to feel You so near
I’m reaching out now, just to find You
Even though I know You’re always here
And I don’t know what to do when I’m with You
‘Cause I can’t separate these two
The love and the longing

It’s a confusing situation
This love I can’t ignore
Only a love so strong can make a heart long so deeply
And it’s here in Your presence
That I find my life
Your love so true I know forever You will keep me
There’s a yearning in me that I cannot hide
I couldn’t ever leave You for this love inside

I’m overwhelmed, oh, with this longing
To see Your face, to feel You so near
I’m reaching out now, just to find You
Even though I know You’re always here
And I don’t know what to do when I’m with You
‘Cause I can’t separate these two
The love and the longing

I try to hide my face
To wipe away these tears
But when I find myself in silence
It’s Your voice my soul hears
Oh, God, I want so much more
Than the here and now
I ache for heaven, Lord
And heaven come down

I’m overwhelmed, oh, with this longing
To see Your face, to feel You so near
I’m reaching out now, just to find You
Even though I know You’re always here
And I don’t know what to do when I’m with You
‘Cause I can’t separate these two
The love and the longing
