Longing
Hebrews 12:1b,2a –“Let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles, and let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us. Let us fix our eyes on Jesus…”

I will not turn to the left or the right
I’m gonna face ahead, standing firm in Your sight,
I’m gonna follow You
Your way alone is true
Temptations come and distractions go
I’m gonna hold my ground, in this life that I know
Will bring me home to You
Your love will pull me through

I have cast my lot, I have entered the race,
I’m gonna run it long, I’m gonna keep my pace
Leaning hard on You, and Your saving grace
‘Til I see the end and behold Your face
O, God — that’s what I’m longing for

I could not stay if I didn’t believe
That You are here with me and You’ll never leave
For I depend on You
In everything I do
Sometimes it’s hard to be true to Your heart
I want to walk by faith, wanna do my part
You’ll keep me strong for You
Your grace has seen me through

O, God — that’s what I’m longing for (3X)
I’m longing for You
You’re what I’m longing for
O God, You’re what I’m longing for
O God, You’re what I’m longing for
Jesus, just to feel Your warm embrace
Just to see Your face
