Wanting

I want to see you on the water

Coming forth to rescue me,
Reaching out your saving hand
To pull me from the rising waves.

I want to feel your arms around me,

Hear you say that all is right,
Rest within your strength and mercy
‘Til I’m swallowed by your light.

I want to live with only you, Lord,

Where my faith works miracles,
Forgetting all that lies behind me,
Pressing on toward heaven’s goal.
