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
