YEARNING

 

Appreciate Each Moment by Greg Collins

My desire to bring Thee honour

Is as wide and deep as the river;

My wish to be holy,

As the waves of the sea.

 

My longing for Thy presence

Is like the thorn of a bloody rose;

Aching, I yearn

To be gathered home to Thee.

 

My quest for righteous deeds to be

As the shore’s innumerable sand;

To see Thee holding the affections of my heart

In the hollow of Thy hand.
