As I stand here before You Jesus
I bow my head and kneel
For it is written,
" O'Lord You have searched me
and You know me,You know when
I sit and when I rise...
You are familiar with all my ways"
Yet how is it that I don't know You?
How is it that the one that died for me
could ever be the one I know least?
I want to know You,
I want to hear your voice
I want to search You and receive Your blessing
I want You to break me!
I want to wrestle with your heart!
And open my eyes Lord to see
the beauty of Your face.
I want all of You Lord,
Like pieces of a puzzle placed together
I want to be placed in you.
These 5 minutes
Are nowhere near the time I want to be with You
You are my God and King! My Messiah and Prince of Peace
Holy Lord God are You! Worthy is Your name!
Blessed be the name of You!
Better is one day in Your courts than a MILLION elsewhere!
You have made me! "You knit me together in my mothers womb"
You know every heartache, every happiness, every memory.
You are my everything! You can have my future, and my past.
All I need is you. You hold the universe! You hold everyone of us!
Draw me close to You never let me go!
You've taken my sins and pain, Now Lord take me!
All of it is Yours Never Let me go...

this is a wonderful piece. Some parts reminded me of songs we sing before service. I especially like "Better is one day in Your courts than a MILLION elsewhere". I've always loved that song. Best of wishes in the contest.
