The Cry of My Heart

I've been singing this song to the Father recently.
It echoes the deepest whispers of my heart; somehow almost puts words to the longing inside of me that can't quite be vocalized.


Just the time I feel
that I've been caught
in the mire of self-
Just the time I feel
my mind's been bought
by worldly wealth-
That's when the breeze begins
to blow I know,
the Spirit's Call...
And all my worldly wanderings
just melt into His Love.

Oh, I want to know You more!
Deep within my soul I want to know You,
Oh, I want to know You.
To feel Your Heart and know Your Mind,
looking in Your eyes stirs up within me,
cries that says I want to know You
Oh, I want to know You more.
Oh, I want to know You more.

When my daily deeds
ordinarily lose life and song,
my heart begins to bleed,
sensitivity to Him is gone.
I've run the race but set my own pace
and face a shattered soul,
But the gentle Arms of Jesus
warm my hunger to be whole.

Oh, I want to know You more!
Deep within my soul I want to know You,
Oh, I want to know You.

And I would give my final breath
to know You in Your Death and Resurrection,
Oh, I want to know You more.
