The Longing Of My Heart

It's more than I can bear
To be so far apart
So through the midnight breeze
I slip so I can ease
The longing of my heart

I long to feel the peace
His holy walls apart
The closeness of my God
Will heal the aching crowds
By the longing of my heart

Though nations may oppress us
And their armies trod our sod
The strength to overcome
Will flow from the fortress of our God

Though nations may oppress us
And their armies trod our sod
The strength to overcome
Will flow from the fortress of our God

To worship in the home
Of alter lights and ark
To daily offer there
My soul's most fervent prayer
Is the longing of my heart
To daily offer there
My soul's most fervent prayer
Is the longing of my heart
