When longing consumes you

A burning passion is rising within my soul
For a long time it had only been coals preserving the heat
But a fresh wind is blowing on it
And the sparks are flying high

Beyond expression are the desires within me
Wanting to scream but there are no words to scream
Tears have been my daily bread
While my soul was wasting away

There is wind in those sails blowing hard
The road is sloping down and my bike has no breaks
What will stop the things that have begun
A longing that consumes all that I am

Things above call for my attention
While this earth is slowly fading out of view
Seeing as He sees this world
May his eyes be my guide

A quiet voice calls me almost inaudible
But my whole being is drawn to it
Crying "Abba-Loving Father"
Strong arms are waiting

No more days, no more nights
A life lived for the One I love
Who loved me first
And calls me his Son
