Oh, God...

I want to grow closer cause you are so distant
Lately my thoughts are so far
I want you to show me all that I’m missing
Don’t want to see you as a star
I am so captivated by the light that you shine
But the light isn’t burning my eyes

Oh, Lord, for so long I’ve known you
And oh, God, with me you have dined
Oh, God, I’m only trying to live this life

I know that I need you
I’m missing that feeling
I cannot do this alone
You gave me your words and they gave me life
You promised I’d never be on my own

Oh, God, I am just wandering
Oh, God, please show me the way
Oh, God, I’m only wanting you to be near

Please bring yourself so close to my heart
That I’m tanned by your Jesus sunshine
I know you can show me all that I’m missing
Lately I have been closing my eyes

So many times I felt you right beside me
In your arms I long to abide
I have all these plans that my heart has decided
But is that what you’ve planned out for me?

Oh, God, you are so loving
Oh, God, I quickly forget
Oh, God, please help your daughter to grow so close

There is so much that muffles your whispers
I’ve been so distracted from you,
The voice of my father that longs to direct me,
Shout above the noise “I just love you!”
I know you are speaking but I can’t comprehend it
My human ears don’t understand
It is you that I long for, your path I have chosen
When I lose my way, please take my hand
Here I am waiting and here I will stay
To hear what your voice has to say

Don’t wanna wait for this life
I’ve gotta persue it
Been waitin for this life
I’ve just gotta do it
Been waiting for your life
But I gotta persue it
This is what I’ve wanted
This is what I’ve needed…
