My Longing Heart
I know that I
Have failed the Lord
And for that
I'm so ashamed
And only in my troubled times
Would I call upon his name
But God said
If you'll only speak to me
When trouble your way comes
Then you can rest assured my child
I'll surely send you some
I know I need
To spend more time
Down on my knees in prayer
For he said when
You call on me
I'll surely meet you there
Lord forgive me
Of my past
And the wrongful things I've done
I long so
Just to make things right
Between you and your son
For I know
That we're not promised
We will see The Morning Sun
And I don't want
To leave this world
Having left some things undone
Father make me worthy
To stand and tell the world
That I'm a god believer
And I believe His Word
He's coming in an hour
That we don't even know
And our souls will be
Required of us
O be ready friend to go
Eternity last forever
and 10 million years from now
my friend you will be somewhere
so why don't you humbly bow
To the God of heaven
he's waiting now on you
just ask Him for forgiveness
that's all you have to do
Then when it said and done
and he returns someday
he'll take you home to heaven
and there forever stay
