in light of eternity

i'm in love with a man
i'm in love with a stranger
i'm in love with my maker
whom i have never seen

i'm in love with a lamb
i'm in love with a lion
i'm in love with my saviour
whom i have yet to know

oh won't you let me love you more?
this is all that i desire
won't you let me love you more?
this is all that i require
won't you let me love you more?
this is my deepest heart's desire
won't you let me love you more, and more?

you could give to me the gift of walking on water
and maybe
maybe i will raise the dead
but i have one life to live
and all i have to give to you is love

if i never walk on water
if i never see the miracles
if i never hear your voice out loud

just knowing that you love me
is enough to keep me here
just hearing those words
is enough to satisfy
you satisfy
couldn't leave even if i tried

i must have you!

This song was in my head all day yesterday and i am not kidding. i dreamed it, woke up singing it, sang at the house of prayer with it in the back of my mind and i played ringette singing it in my head. i climbed into bed hearing it.

this is what i want. a desperate, full of faith, wholehearted and consistent love of God.
