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

Hi Skat: Well I began singing and playing the piano at age 3 and began a full-time career in Southern Gospel Music at age 18. I've traveled all over the United States and Canada with the nations top Southern Gospel artist such as The Hoppers and Gaither artists as well. I presently live in Altoona Pennsylvania and I'm enjoying my retired life from being on the road. I'm honored that you like my writings and I will try and post a new one as often as I can. Bless Your Heart, Sammy Lee Lykens
