My Heart Is Longing

Verse 1

Savior, now my heart is longing For Thy wondrous saving grace; Life has been a barren desert, While my sins have hid Thy face. Oft in anguish have I struggled, Fought the blighting pow’r of sin, But, o’ercome, cast down, and vanquished, In each conflict have I been.

Chorus

Savior, take my troubled spirit, Long by sin oppressed; In Thy mercy soothe and cheer it, Give me peace and rest.

Verse 2

Savior, now my heart is longing From this burden to be free; Break, oh, break these galling fetters That so long have pinioned me. Let the sunshine of Thy presence Banish all my gloom away, Make this moment the beginning Of a new and brighter day.

Verse 3

Savior, now my heart is longing For the rest and peace and love Thou canst send in great abundance On me from Thy throne above. I am weary, sad, and lonely, I have wandered far from Thee; But I come, I come repenting, Lord, have mercy now on me.

Verse 4

Savior, now my heart is longing, Thirsting for the rich supply Of Thy grace, which, freely given, All my soul can satisfy. Come, oh, come with Thy sweet favor; Waits my eager heart for Thee; Then, enfolded in Thy glory, Let me rest eternally.
