Litany of Longing
In the dryness of prayer
In the dissatisfaction with
All of these useless entertainments
In the desert that spreads in us
From overwork and our toil
In our thirst to love and be loved
We long for You
So come Lord Jesus, You know
We long for You O Lord
So come Lord Jesus, come
In our yearning for what matters
In our desire to see
A just and righteous world
In the darkness of our accumulated sins
In the hopelessness of our addictions
We long for You
So come Lord Jesus, You know
We long for You O Lord
So come Lord Jesus, come
In the empty habits of mind
That nourish no one
In our restlessness
For something beyond what we see
And in our search for an anchor in this life
And in our pursuit of beauty
And all that's still good
We long for You
So come Lord Jesus, You know
We long for You O Lord
So come Lord Jesus, come
In the dissatisfaction with
All of these useless entertainments
In the desert that spreads in us
From overwork and our toil
In our thirst to love and be loved
We long for You
So come Lord Jesus, You know
We long for You O Lord
So come Lord Jesus, come
In our yearning for what matters
In our desire to see
A just and righteous world
In the darkness of our accumulated sins
In the hopelessness of our addictions
We long for You
So come Lord Jesus, You know
We long for You O Lord
So come Lord Jesus, come
In the empty habits of mind
That nourish no one
In our restlessness
For something beyond what we see
And in our search for an anchor in this life
And in our pursuit of beauty
And all that's still good
We long for You
So come Lord Jesus, You know
We long for You O Lord
So come Lord Jesus, come
