I Wait

PPM-3.jpg

I bow before You, I lay at Your feet
My dear Saviour to my ears do speak
Fill my heart with Your heart
Consume my spirit with Your Own
May the cares of this world fade to black
And might I into Your arms collapse

Breathe Your breath upon me
Surround me in the warmth of Your breeze
Like the wind, is Your Spirit
Oh Father blow upon me
Cover me fully by the strength of Your hands
Lift me up by Your arm that before You I might stand

Wash me clean by the washing of Your word
Purify me with hyssup dipped in the ashes of the heifer
May the praise of my lips and the offerings of my heart
Be as a soothing aroma to You that by my sins we not be apart
I wait for You Lord, my Father I wait
Oh how I long, so long, to behold Your face

Forgive my iniquity, the trespasses of Your law
I cling to Your promises, I cling to Your cross
Oh Father I desire to do Your will
I lay my life down and before You I am still
I know that I am nothing more than dust
So into Your hands I place all my trust

Your love is everlasting and Your compassion knows no bounds
Your mercies are ever enduring may the trumpet over the burnt offerings and peace offerings sound
Might I be reminded that You are the Lord my God
And as You live all the earth will be filled with Your glory
As Your glory filled the tabernacle at the bottom of Sinai
Fill me with Your glory until upon my face You shine

You are my God, it is the glory of Your name I seek
That every tribe, every tongue, every nation would bow at Your feet
I am but a jar of clay, nothing of myself
You are my potter and I rest upon Your shelf
If Your presence does not go with me, then do not move me from my place
But if You go, I’ll go, toward Your will I’ll set my face
But now, just now, I seek and I wait…
