My Soul Longs For Jesus

My soul longs for Jesus in a dry and weary land
Oh, come living water, Son of God and Son of man
He’s the light in the shadows, He’s the lamp to my feet
My soul longs for Jesus and He longs for me

My soul longs for Jesus from the morning’s first light
Where His mercies they greet me like a song in the night
Ev’ry hour, ev’ry moment, now and forevermore
Let me sing unto Jesus, nothing pleases me more

My soul longs for Jesus, name above all other names
Let my life be ever blameless, ever keeping His ways
He’s the Lighthouse that leads me, He’s my compass, my guide
Let my courses follow Jesus by day and by night

My soul longs for Jesus, He’s the Saviour of sin
His blood washes over, praise God, I’m born again
From the ashes He raised me, death no longer has a hold
For I belong to Jesus, He paid for my soul

My soul longs for Jesus Longs for Jesus
My soul longs for Jesus alone

My soul longs for Jesus, what a glorious day
When the troubles of the ages shall swiftly pass away
With the armies of heaven He will carry us home
How I long for You, Jesus, oh come, Jesus, come
