how long

 

longing, longing to be with you

gorgeous, are you, lord

 

how long will you wait to come

how long will I have to long

how long till the ecstasy

of Your face falls down on me

 

feeling so confused, like a lover chasing a muse

grasping for the moon when I know its light come from the Son

 

and with Your love divine, won't you open up my mind

lord I beg and plead, change me or come

 

and like a foolish child I reach for pots

that have already burned and scarred my hands

why do I deserve your amazing love, I don't

but I guess that's what makes it yours

your love, your love, so why don't you tell me about it

you felt it in the flesh

 

as i gaze upon the rain, i melt from a whisper

sung a thousand miles away, which is nothing to a drifter

lord is it wrong to say, that kind of love is pain

i've only begun to know her, love what a crazy game

lord have we every really played?

 

but you can understand the depths to which i fell

for you came to earth and lived just like me

and i know you know the sting of betrayal

and i know you know the joy of love

 

should i step where i've been hurt before

the chamber that was wounded in war

i know you felt my pain

i read about your crimson stains

you've felt it in the flesh

you've wiped tears from your very eyes

you never said your blood would make us numb

only truly let us live our lives, abundantly

 

there is a thorn in me, sticking ever so silently

lord take it away

from me

the vine

 

you are, the source of everything

and i am just a servant to a loving king

i've tried, to do it on my own

but time and time and ime again you tell me

 

i will abide, but will you come along

and sing along, enduring the final love song

i will abide, for i am the vine

apart from me you cannot do anything

 

sinking like, a stone without life

is what i was before i knew you, now i'm

dancing for the whole world to see

but the father never ceases in reminding me

 

sweet release

found in you

 

ugly, am i?  That is what the world has deemed

worthless, i'm too short, too fat, too this, too that

no!  i won't believe the lie, but am i?

i am so ashamed, jesus

 

but you will be the sunshine in my loneliness

yours will be the mirror in which i view myself all day long

and i will stand just as in my potter's hands

for you are the lord and i am yours

so open up my mind

 

jealous, of all i see.  oh to be anyone but me

nobody loves me, nobody cares

so i purge to escape myself too scarred from the stares

mercy, lord have mercy on me

 

freedom, freedom is in this place

freedom, freedom is in my face

freedom, freedom to livein grace

for i am beautiful and wonderful

 

hallelujah, hallelujah i am yours

and found in you, nobody else but you

more than fine

 

i woke this morning to a brand new day

it's when life is simple and i begin to pray

but soon i realize the world has no faith

so i feel pressured to play their game

 

but i don't ever want to toe that line

i just want to leave that foolishness behind

i just want to live by faith and not by sight

and tell the world i'm more then fine

o so more than fine

 

all these voices invade my head

they come to kill and conquer, but they push me on instead

they only remind me of all the things i hate

so they can keep their eyes on what's for sure and eat their fancy cake

deliver me

 

make my heart oh lord, into an instrument of praise

like a mighty horn, blasting through the haze

 

burn away my flesh, with a holy raging fire

until all that's left, is yours

 

deliver me

my god

 

i don't want to lust no more, don't want to lie no more

don't want to covet no more, no more

 

don't want to draw no more, from the dry and barren wells

i want to drink of you lord, from your holy springs of life

 

i don't want to be better lord

i want you to finish me

take all that remains of me

i want to be yours, to be yours lord

 

freedom come rain on me, holy spirit reign

teach me what it is to be broken, for there is no better place

would i be on your mind

 

she told me the news today, it stung like razor blades

then all i felt was faint

she said all she has is, one more day of breath

we cried 'til we were dry

then i heard, the saddest thing i've ever heard

she said...

 

if i was to live to see another day

would i be on your mind

and if i was to walk another mile

would you be by my side

 

we spend the entire night, just hangin' and talkin' about

all the things that she has done

why do we wait so long, to really love someone

i'm convinced we are afraid

but not today, so i choked down the tears and sang

 

everyone's estranged, avoiding depth and pain

to consumed by our selfishness

wasting lots of time, we miss what's come and gone

lord teach us how to love someone

 

angel you are loved

did i go astray

 

i remember summer day

when the moon would shine upon my face

succumbing to an empty gaze

and feeling so ashamed

 

you knew the way, but did you pave the way

or did i go astray

 

memories they fade to gray

but memories never fade away

salvation knows another face

but was there another way

 

but i stand redeemed, for your mercy is alive

lord your ways escape me

did you summon me

to walk the valley that is now a sea

a love like this

 

beautiful little child of mine

how i've longed to utter those words

like a man lost in his lover's eyes

i'm lost in you

 

and if you stray, i will wait upon my steps

and if you run, i will search to endless depths

for i see, inside the hearts of men

and i will say, you've never known a love like me before

 

everyday i stare upon the earth

looking for a faithful man

but it never ceases in amazing me

how i reach to hand you diamond, but you turn your head for glass

 

surrender all your pride, and walk into the light

drink deep the abundant life, and swallow

 

written by Danen Kane

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

it must be love

 

run away with me, through the fields that have no end

we will laugh as though it is our breath

for  your face is the sunrise

and your eyes like heaven's doors

and your heart is alive with the voice of an angel

singing to my crying eyes

 

it sing allelu, it sings alleluia

it must be love

 

but i know i've been fooled before

sending pride where i know it belongs

looking only at the sparkle and failing to examine the stone

but this time seems different

for the lord it telling me to go on

for he said when his spirit entered her heart

holy broken out in angelic song

 

holy sang, "i am home"

he sang "i am home"

 

and when the light shines on your face i know

there is no other place i'd rather be

than holding you so close like lovers do

 

it must be love

jesus is lord

 

great is the lord in the heavens

lovely is the lord in the heavens

 

let all the world proclaim his name

 

jesus is lord!  ( he's the lover for the loveless )

and i am redeemed!  ( his blood is thicker than my sickness )

( his love is deeper than the oceans )

 

so bow to the lord in heavens

be restored by the lord in the heavens

 

not by righteousness or fame

not by calves that reach the flame

freedom goes by just one name

 

jesus is lord

waiting for you

 

holy father, the time has come

may your cup pass from me

but no my will, but yours be done

 

i hung on calvary, spread across that tree

as love it poured from me, from me to you

i came to save the lost, i came to pay your cost

pierced upon the cross, i died to be with you

 

they call me the man of sorrows, what would you call me?

a man who came to save and to love

only to be beaten and spit upon, even to this day

but arise, arise, children of the light

for victory was won that faithful night

hallelujah, the veil in the temple cried

for the savior is ready for his bride

 

i'm waiting for you, waiting for you,

waiting for you, waiting for you

everyday you chase, those empty pleasures

always leading you to the same lonely place

well i made you with my hands, i know every hair upon your head

i don't care where you've been, i don't care what you've done

no, no, i died for it all

the time has come, the time has come

come back to me my precious one

i'm waiting for you, i'm waiting for you

waiting for you my precious one
