My Thirst For You
My Thirst For You
By: Sandra Rains
I know I've been here before
and turned my heart away from you
I know I've asked a hundred times
But never believed it would come true
I know I've been bad at times
and even ungrateful I admit
But Lord my thirst is strong now
If you would give me just one sip
I am but a sinner, it's true
I lie, cheat and steal
I turn a deaf ear to you at times
afraid of what I might hear
I am but a black sheep
grazing in a spread of fields
dying for a drink and praying
For my thirst is strong willed
Lord I'm sure you know me
I have talked to you many times
I have cried and complained for years
I have begged you to heal my mind
This time Lord I am certain
I can not do it alone, by myself
If you would please forgive me
and bless me with your help
I would not turn away again
I would be a better friend
I would not shun the needy
I would begin again
I promise Lord, to listen
When I hear your voice in my head
Lord, it's just that my thirst is deep
and gets deeper with each word said
Lord I think you're beautiful
though I've never seen your face
But I feel you in my heart and mind
and have witnessed your sweet grace
Lord I think I love you
No..I know I truly do
For Lord I can not satisfy
this deep Thirst without you
So please, heal me, Jesus
make me want to live the life I need
A drink from you is all I ask
You are my key to eternity
