JESUS COME TAKE ME AWAY
I long to see Your face
This world is broken yet beautifully made
Jesus come take me away
Jesus I’ll patiently wait
Until like a vapour I’ll fade
Help me fulfill all Your dreams for these days
Jesus I’ll patiently wait
You’ll come again with a shout
Like a thief in the night
You’ll come riding on clouds
Finally the voice I had followed for life
Has a glorious face that is lit up with light
And you’ll come for me
No more pain, peace
No more fear, release
Just lost and consumed with my glorious King
Jesus, today I am tired
I need Your music to come and inspire
I give myself to be refined in this fire
But Jesus today I’m so tired
Charlie Hall
