The Longing


My soul longs for Heaven

My soul longs to see Jesus face-to-face

To feel the warmth of His embrace

To dance by the crystal sea

In front of the all encompassing King

The LORD, the lover of my soul

As He looks down from His throne

Is grieved by all wickedness 

He sees in the earth today

As much as I long for HIM

I cannot even begin to grasp the thought

“Jesus is grieved by all the wickedness He sees

And His longing to see the entire world

The way that His Father intended to be from the very beginning.”

I cannot even fathom the depth of His love and plan for me

Yet I know HIS Goodness and Faithfulness lasts an eternity

How great is My God! How loving is My God!

How compassionate is HE who did not spare His Son

But gave Him up for each of us so that we could forgiven 

For each of our sins. Praise His holy name!
