Let My Heart Be Known

"But whoever loves God is known by God."

I Corinthians 8:3

this voice resounds across time and space

searching, longing, hoping

to connect with one far off, but not forgotten

I see you there

on a distant shore

depicted in haunting color

in my vivid imagination

but now my heart is far away

and though I visit you in my dreams

you are a vapor

I am a wanderer

and I cannot find you though I long for you and your embrace

with all my heart I long for you

with all my strength I yearn

with all my hope I search for you

I pray now, not in vain

with all my might poured out for you

and all my soul laid bare

with all my passion on the altar for you

and none of me held back

I lift up my soul and place it in your hands

hoping, praying, believing

that you will give it wings and make it fly

that you will go to depths for me as I have gone for you

that you will search me out as I have searched out you

that the prayers I have prayed will not have been in vain

that they would echo in the chambers of heaven

the song I sing, heard around the throne

give my voice wings and make it fly

let this cry be heard around your throne

let my heart be known
