I Long
I long to feel God deeply
and hear his voice within.
I long to feel secure
and forever cleansed from sin.
I long to know God loves me,
not just in my head, but also my heart.
I long to know what true love is
and forever "till death due us part".
I long to not have a problem,
to be like everyone else.
I long to be confident and humble, as well;
to know and like myself.
I long to have a servant's heart
for helping the poor and lost.
I long for a faith that will never faulter
even when death is the imminent cost.
I long to have more wisdom,
and to be more powerful, kind and bold.
Most of all, I long for Heaven,
for the bordered streets of gold.
