My heart longs for wide-open spaces
My soul, for the Kingdom of God
Jesus, walking among us
His disciples given away
To His purpose
His bidding
His divine intent
Intent as He was when He walked here
Listening only for the Divine whisper
The course set for freedom
The road set on pilgrimage
My lot, a course He determines
To fulfill the heavenly command
My soul yearning to complete it
Face like flint, pierced feet, and hands
Like Him
Knowing this death
Works life
Mine too, an offering
A sacrifice to the Holy Story
Written by His hand
Serving the kingdom of men
Only as it serves Him
My allegiance, the Kingdom of God
My joy, His pleasure, His will.
My tongue
His voice in the earth below
His sight, His mind
His eyes
His eyes
I long for things less defined by my reason
Wild and unrestrained
Things I can’t know by my own device
But explained by my seeing of Him
He alone holds all definition
He alone explains every tear
His purpose forged in every raindrop
In the thunder, the whirlwind, the fear!
God alone, I look to for freedom
From all else that holds me here
O Lord take me with you
As I sojourn, your servant
Like Enoch and Moses
Speak to me face to face
Your ways
Engrave them on my walls
Forge them into my veins
I don’t want any other prize
I long for no other joy
But to know as I am known
To love as I am loved
To hope as if I’ve never lost
To dream from heaven’s window
To weep in everlasting arms
To die knowing new life awaits me
To live convinced death cannot take me
Yours
Fully
Free
Yours
Chosen
Sealed
Courageous
Clinging
Rejoicing in hope
Always in hope
