The Gates

Did you say, 'seek, you will surely find'?
I am searching, lord turn your eyes to mine
But I'm weary, pacing at these gates
Jesus come, come now, don't delay

Like a child, ever faithful may I be
This I ask, god of mercy hear my plea
I have wandered with a soul impure
For this scorn, father, send a cure

I come to you my one and only
I promise not to turn my eyes again
And yes I know we're but a breath,
But I wanna taste and see and feel you nonetheless
Yeah the years they keep on turning
And I'm battered but I'm burning for you lord.

I wanna wake and feel your glory
I wanna speak in tongues of angels for you lord
I wanna sing a song eternal
I wanna trample on the curses of the earth
I wanna call upon your healing
I wanna see the sick and weary be made new
I wanna swim inside the blessings
I wanna swim inside the blessings of the lord

Have my heart, dry and dusty though it be
And these lungs; tired from calling out to thee
Will you come now and make your home
May we drink the cup of life and overflow
