To Be With You
The stain of this world
Is upon my face
How can I reach You
With its veil in place
The cares of life
Have drained my soul
And oh
How I long to be whole
But the struggle against
My flesh is great
I can't seem to keep
To the narrow way
Father, how long
Will I have to wait
To be with You
Lord
I long for Your presence
For the sweet touch of Your grace
To be wholly consumed
By Your fire again
To look fully into Your face
The fragrance of Your mercy
Flows over me
As I kneel before You
In Your sanctuary
For a moment in time
How I long to be
I want to be with You
I come before You
To seek Your face
Knowing it's through faith
Not by works but by grace
You gave Your life
To set me free
Yet I remain in captivity
And I know that I'll never
Be made new
Until this wretched veil
Is torn in two
Rip away all of me
That blocks my view
So I can be with You
Flow like a river
Like a rushing flood
Purify me
With Your cleansing blood
Burst through my defenses
Strip all of me away
Until my heart is left exposed
Before Your loving gaze
Lord
I long for Your presence
For the sweet, sweet touch of Your grace
To be wholly consumed
By Your fire again
To look fully into Your face
The fragrance of Your mercy
Flows over me
As I kneel before You
In Your sanctuary
For a moment in time
How I long to be
I want to be with You
I want to be with You
I want to be with You
Is upon my face
How can I reach You
With its veil in place
The cares of life
Have drained my soul
And oh
How I long to be whole
But the struggle against
My flesh is great
I can't seem to keep
To the narrow way
Father, how long
Will I have to wait
To be with You
Lord
I long for Your presence
For the sweet touch of Your grace
To be wholly consumed
By Your fire again
To look fully into Your face
The fragrance of Your mercy
Flows over me
As I kneel before You
In Your sanctuary
For a moment in time
How I long to be
I want to be with You
I come before You
To seek Your face
Knowing it's through faith
Not by works but by grace
You gave Your life
To set me free
Yet I remain in captivity
And I know that I'll never
Be made new
Until this wretched veil
Is torn in two
Rip away all of me
That blocks my view
So I can be with You
Flow like a river
Like a rushing flood
Purify me
With Your cleansing blood
Burst through my defenses
Strip all of me away
Until my heart is left exposed
Before Your loving gaze
Lord
I long for Your presence
For the sweet, sweet touch of Your grace
To be wholly consumed
By Your fire again
To look fully into Your face
The fragrance of Your mercy
Flows over me
As I kneel before You
In Your sanctuary
For a moment in time
How I long to be
I want to be with You
I want to be with You
I want to be with You
