To Be With You Lyrics

The stain of this world

Is upon my face

How can I reach You

With its veil in place

The cares of life

Have drained my soul

And oh

How I long to be whole

But the struggle against

My flesh is great

I can't seem to keep

To the narrow way

Father, how long

Will I have to wait

To be with You

Lord

I long for Your presence

For the sweet touch of Your grace

To be wholly consumed

By Your fire again

To look fully into Your face

The fragrance of Your mercy

Flows over me

As I kneel before You

In Your sanctuary

For a moment in time

How I long to be

I want to be with You

I come before You

To seek Your face

Knowing it's through faith

Not by works but by grace

You gave Your life

To set me free

Yet I remain in captivity

And I know that I'll never

Be made new

Until this wretched veil

Is torn in two

Rip away all of me

That blocks my view

So I can be with You

Flow like a river

Like a rushing flood

Purify me

With Your cleansing blood

Burst through my defenses

Strip all of me away

Until my heart is left exposed

Before Your loving gaze

Lord

I long for Your presence

For the sweet, sweet touch of Your grace

To be wholly consumed

By Your fire again

To look fully into Your face

The fragrance of Your mercy

Flows over me

As I kneel before You

In Your sanctuary

For a moment in time

How I long to be

I want to be with You

I want to be with You

I want to be with You
