I want to see you

God I want to see you
In the life that I live
I long to feel your touch
In what you have to give

But I’m afraid there are times
When my vision is not so clear
I do not see you moving
And I give in to fear

I see the loss in this life
I see the rejection and the pain
I don’t understand
What is there to gain?

But I need to remember
It’s not about here and now
I’m living for eternity
For my future somehow

God I look to you
Even when I do not see
I surrender all to you,
The things that I want to be

I pray that you show me
Yourself in the place
I need to have your touch
Oh Daddy, I need your grace

Thank you that you are here
Even when I do not feel you
Even if it doesn’t seem like it
I know your promises are true

This World Has Nothing for Me

This world has nothing for me
I’m learning to let go
This world is full of sorrow
More than one can know

This world has nothing for me
All I see is pain
This world with all its pleasures
I see nothing for me to gain

I’m chasing after Jesus
Cause he truly is my all
I’m leaving all behind
To simply follow my call

I don’t know what it looks like
Or how to decipher this world
But I’m following my Jesus
On Him my burdens hurled

I choose to look to heaven
Where worship will abound
I’m looking to my future
I’m not looking around

Cause this world has nothing for me
But broken dreams and thoughts
I’m fighting for my Jesus
Because for me he has fought

I give my passion to Him
With everything that I got
I feel I have nothing in me
But I give as I’ve been taught

This world has nothing for me
I’ve decided to let it go
There is nothing to be desired
So into His Kingdom I will sow
