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
