Love Song back to God


Okay - a couple of weeks ago I posted the lyrics to a Bebo song that was God expressing His love toward us (ME!). Today I got the 2X4 over the head with this old but awesome song from Chris Rice - MY love song back to God!

Missin' You

I heard about the day You went away
You said You had to go prepare a place
And even though I've never seen Your face
I'm missin You

I lie awake tonight and I watch the sky
And I wish it didn't have to be so high
'Cause I'm belonging on the other side
And I'm missin' You

'Cause somewhere behind those stars
Is someone who belongs to me
And I know in my deepest heart
There's a place for You
Until I find the place You've made for me
But still I'm missin' You

I dream about Your promise to return
And I wake up hanging on Your every word
But for now my feet are planted here on earth
And I'm missin' You

So even while they say that I'm a fool
I know You see me waiting here for You
Oh, and prayin' that somehow You'll get here soon
'Cause I'm missin' You

How much longer will it be
'Til I get to see You?
And though I know You're right here with me
Tell me when can I be there with You?

Oh I'm missin' You
Lord I'm missin' You

We have this huge hole in us that only He can fill (very cliche' I know - but true) and I believe we'll have that longing in our hearts until the day we are united - Bridegroom to Bride - and that longing will be fully satisfied. Question is, how do we allow Him to satisfy us best here before that Day? All I know is hearing His heart for me and returning that longing to Him seems to make things a bit easier. And if it weren't for that longing, I'd quit the pursuit - so today inspite of the gaping hole, I am thankful for the longing He's given me so that I continually pursue the Lover of my Soul!
