Longing for Jesus
Lord Jesus may I see You.
Teach me to listen to You.
May I be guided by you.
Strengthen me to defend You.
Grant me peace to rest with You.
With joy may I worship You.
Grant me courage to defend You.
May I sing praises to You.
May I shout with joy of You.
Grant me grace to receive You.
Open my heart to serve You.
Washed clean, forgiven by You.
Lord Jesus, I adore You.
Lord Jesus, draw me to You.
May I be caressed by You.
Take me to Heaven with You.
Face to face may I see You.
