Here I am, my God,
I’ve come to seek Your face;
I long to know You more in my life.
So here I am, my Lord,
I want to meet with You,
I long to know Your glory in this place.
My heart yearns for You.
My soul thirsts for You.
‘Cause You’re my Rock,
You’re my light,
You’re my hope,
You’re my song in the night.
You’re the air that I breathe;
You’re the food my soul wants, my soul needs.
Matt Weedall
