Missing Jesus

“I spread out my hands to You. My soul like a weary land for You.” (Psalms 143:6).

Deep within my heart, memories linger still,
Secret longings that my spirit fill.
In dreams I reach for You, earnestly seeking grace,
Yearning just to see Your holy face.

Jesus, my beloved, how I miss You so,
To be beside You is all I want to know.
This yearning in my heart grows day by day,
The greatest passion that won’t fade away.

Lord, let Your grace descend like gentle rain,
Covering my path through joy and pain.
Guide these mortal feet through earthly night,
Until I walk with You in pure delight.

Grant me peace until that blessed day
When at Your feet my soul can stay.
My heart looks upward, filled with praise,
Forever honoring Your holy ways.

Glory to You, my Lord divine,
This soul will worship for all time.
Each breath a song of love to You,
Each moment pledged in reverence true.

In every season, every hour,
I feel Your love’s transforming power.
Jesus, my heart beats just for You—
The greatest love I ever knew.

I Love and Miss Jesus

“I spread out my hands to You. My soul like a weary land for You.” (Psalms 143:6).

My heart is filled with longing and remembrance, deep hidden feelings.
And I earnestly wish in my dreams to draw near to You.
I love and miss Jesus, only wanting to be by Your side.
My heart yearns for You, the greatest desire in my life.

I pray for Your grace to cover me in the days ahead.
Guide my steps as I walk through this world throughout my spiritual journey.
Grant me peace until I reach Jesus’ side.
My heart looks up to You, will forever honor only You.

My heart glorifies the Lord without ceasing.
My whole soul earnestly loves and reveres You.
