all i want

i come, with a heart that is desperate
And i cry, wanting just to be heard by You
And i pray, that You won't remain silent
That You'll stand here beside me
That my heart won't call out in vain

Chorus
Cause all i want, is just to see You Jesus
And i long, just to hear Your voice
And i need, just to be near You
Cause Your presence is all i want

i come, with a heart that is hungry
And i sing, wanting You just to know my love
And i pray, that my life will be counted
For the sake of Your kingdom
That my heart will be truly Yours

Bridge
One day we'll look on Your face
We'll see You in all of Your glory
And we won't need the sun
And we won't need the moon
All we will need is You

all i want by jeff deyo

when i first heard this song, i was rather skeptical abt its lyrics, i thought: rather me-focused, experiential, etc. i dont agree with all of it still (i dont sing just so God knows i love him, for eg) however, as i listened & thought harder, i felt myself relating to the core of the song. sometimes the ache for God - His nearness, voice, presence can be so deep & real... of cos, He is never far from each of us & for the believer, we can always be assured of His presence regardless of our feelings. still, my heart sings along with the majestic bridge - longing, rejoicing in the hope of that day when we will see Jesus & truly all we will need is Him :):):) oh, the joy that awaits us. on days like these, i can't wait!
