Awakening Me
It's your kindness that I love
Your mercy that I need
Your peace when I am anxious
Your grace when I believe
The longer I live
The stronger it grows
This passion for you
That is filling my soul
The longer I follow
This longing I feel
The more I awaken
To what you reveal
Your love is awakening me
As you give me all that I need
I give all I freely receive
In praises because I believe
I'm longing to live
In that beautiful place
Where my passion for you
Will forever erase
Every hurt, every pain
With your glorious grace
And the kindness I find
In your beautiful face
The more that I learn
Of your wonderful love
I am setting my mind
On your glory above
I am yearning to know
And to love more and more
This wonderful one
I am wakening for
(Therefore if you have been raised up with Christ,
keep seeking the things above, where Christ is,
seated at the right hand of God. Set your mind on
the things above, not on the things that are on earth.
Colossians 3:1-2)
