Heavenly desire
Heavenly desire
Fling wide the door to my soul
Open up the door to my heart
Have Your way
Take me through the fire
Even through this rain
There is no place I won’t go
There is no thing I won’t do
Here I am
I just want to be with You
Can I live in that place?
Keeper of Heaven
Author of Salvation
The Word, the Way, the Truth
Come, just come
Have all of this heart
Have all of this soul
Have all of this mind
Let freedom ring out now
Let joy supersede now
Let love and peace overwhelm
Can I go to Heaven?
Can I see the Throne Room?
Believing now that my righteousness is in You
Believing that because of the Cross, I am Ok
I said I would never let anyone back in, again
Isolated, building a wall, to protect myself, and I
I’ve been saying I want to
Let love in, but I was afraid to trust again
Broken, misunderstood, overlooked and
Even in the place where hope was deferred
But now…
The Ancient of Days arise
The lover of our souls raises His voice
Proclaiming an invitation to all…
I will take you in to a love more real
I will hold you close
I will never let you go
I won’t cheat on you
I won’t let you go
I never forsake, I never leave
You are my love, you are my favorite one
You are the one I want
Will you learn to trust?
Can you learn to love, again?
Can you learn to let love in, again?
Don’t shut me out
Don’t close the door
Don’t lock me out
I want more
I want the depths of who you are
Just open wide your wounded heart
I want to love you
I want you to learn to love Me
I want you to learn to trust, again
I will lead you, I will guide you
And I will teach you how
Don’t listen to the lies
Don’t listen to this
Don’t believe that your sin is greater than My desire for you
My desire is Greater!
His desire for us is greater than our shame
Yesterday is gone
Yesterday is over
Just let it go
He has already forgotten
Open up your heart
Open up again
Won’t you let Him in?
Can you just trust Him, again?
He is the One who does not disappoint
He is the One who does not leave
Here is the everlasting faithful One
Here is the very beginning and the end of love
Here is the One who will never forsake
Jesus, this heart is open to You
I let You in
I let You go to the deep places in me
Even where there is darkness, even where there is shame
You meet me in even those places
But You don’t leave us there
So I say that I want to, want to love You
And so I let You love me, first
Fling wide the door to my soul
Open up the door to my heart
Have Your way
Take me through the fire
Even through this rain
There is no place I won’t go
There is no thing I won’t do
Here I am
I just want to be with You
Can I live in that place?

drawing nearer
Thank you, thank you to the Most High
For the fires You’ve pulled me through
My treasure is You
Your banner is love
You are faithful and true
You are the first and the last
I know You are faithful to complete
You will bring us forth in love
Like love refined
Though You test, though You try, You are good
Into Your hands I commit my spirit, all my life
Look at what You’ve done in me
Thank You oh God
You are the potter, I am the clay
You fashioned all of me
I trusted You for salvation
Now I trust You for sanctification
I let go of striving
I let go of trying, trying, trying
Here is faith
Faith to believe You are who You say You are
Faith to believe You will do what You have said
Faith to believe You deal wondrously with us
Faith to believe it is by Your discretion, men are made great
Again I return to that place
For this I was created
To be with You, to love You, to minister before You
Standing, serving, burning
And so I say, thank You
You make all things well
You fashion all according to Your good pleasure
What is man that You think of him?
And what is man that You consider him?
And yet, it was to man You promised eternity
Can I burn brighter?
Can my spirit be more alive?
Can I draw nearer?
Can I stay in this flow unheeded, unhindered, unmoved?
Will You make me like the seraphim?
The holy ones who remain in Your immediate presence
And are undone
Crying out Holy, Holy, Holy
How can You be uncreated?
How can You have always been?
How can You be outside of time?
God, creation, man
Sin, fall, redemption
Salvation, eternity, love
How epic can this story be?
And then You are
Even though you walk through the valley
Even though you walk through the waters
I Am there
I Am the author and the finisher of your faith
I Am the author of your story
Nothing can keep you from Me
I Am fulfilling that which concerns you
I Am able to keep you
Teaching you to lean
I want to hear your voice, see your face
Draw near
Lift up your voice, your supplications, your prayer
Your voice is lovely
Keep running your race
Nothing can keep you from Me
Your whole existence is upheld by My hand
Your breath is a gift from Me
Nothing can keep you from Me
When it seems like there is no way out
Look to Me.
Let Me see your face
I Am the author of your story
I Am doing everything to bring you to Me
I will bring you to Me
Life is just a vapor
I have eternity in mind for you and Me
I do not look away
The Lion is dancing all around me
All within my heart
I delight in the fear of the Lord
Here, living before my Father’s heart and life
Fear has no power
Even in my weakness
You say I’m lovely
You desire me
God reaching towards man
I am overwhelmed again
For the fires You’ve pulled me through
My treasure is You
Your banner is love
You are faithful and true
You are the first and the last
I know You are faithful to complete
You will bring us forth in love
Like love refined
Though You test, though You try, You are good
Into Your hands I commit my spirit, all my life
Look at what You’ve done in me
Thank You oh God
You are the potter, I am the clay
You fashioned all of me

You say I’m lovely
You desire me
God reaching towards man
I am overwhelmed again
