Whole Heart

Whole Heart


Is this how it is, Lord?
Is this how You feel?
You love me and are so close,
But although I love You back,
It is not enough

I love You, but not with my whole heart.
You are not a total part of my life.
You are so close,
But there is a curtain between.

You want to be involved
With every detail, every part…

Does Your heart ache, as mine does,
To be close
Just to spend time with me?

When I received my new birth
I received You in me
You are always with me

But why don't I turn to You
To have the reality of You,
Your Presence, in everything?

Is this the ache I feel-
Your love for me,
Your desire to be involved
With every detail, every part of my life?

To drive me into closer
Fellowship with You,
To drive me into Your Arms?
To have my whole heart?

Speak, Lord, oh Speak to me

Speak, Lord, oh Speak to me
..
Speak, Lord, oh speak to me,
I desire to hear Your voice,
That voice is what I long for,
More than the riches of the world,
Or the company of many others.

You, Lord, are the Light of my life
You are the One who keeps me going,
You provide the air that I breathe,
And the life in my body.

Oh, to be in Your Presence and
To hear Your voice…
To hear that voice so full of Love

Speak, oh Lord, for I am listening,
Speak, Lord, oh speak to me.
Lord, my heart aches as I wait for You.
I don't see how to live if I can't hear Your Voice.

Speak to me, Lord,
For I am waiting…
Where else can I go?
You have the Words of life;
How else do I know what to do,
Unless You lead me?

Oh, to be in Your Presence and
To hear Your voice…
To hear that voice so full of Love.
