my spirit lifted by Yours
You are too great,
too great for words
so hear the song of my heart
How I long Father
How I long for you
How I long Father
How I long for you
Freedom is where You place Your feet
light always shines through the dark
ever thought of You
for I am Yours
greatest of any rewards
How I long Father
How I long for you
How I long Father
How I long for you
