Today Your face, oh Lord is all I yearn for
With your mercy, you granted me your favor
Your presence I soak myself as I savor
The sweetness of your grace soothing my heart's sore
                                           
This moment You planned for a shower
How much I so long for us to be face to face 'till forever
You pick me up here from my muck
That I made for myself 'till I got stuck
My constant reckoning of all that I've done
My efforts worrying to make it all better equals to none
I take my loads off for it's been heavy for a while
What took me so long to realize that all I've to do is to kick my pile
I lift them up to You for in all my actions, my strength dissipates
How can I even one bit doubt that You would orchestrate
Forgiveness I ask of You
For my pride, my thoughts that all things I can do
The wholeness of it all I bring back to You.

This empty basin I opened for Your overflow
As I drink You, they see in me that glow
I dwell in Your presence, my Lord as You let me go deep
As You lovingly lull me to sleep

I cry no longer from pain
That love you're pouring me will never be drained
Tears are overflowing, I don't ever want to stop crying
I don't ever want this thirst for You to end
This reality is much more than vivid

As you work within me, may I never take off my focus
May I never get swayed ever again
By your side, I hold your hand and may I never let go of Your grip
I'll never get tired being redundant telling everyone how much you so love me and them
Your hugs are ever perpetual and true…
