When I think of all the blessings
Christ has given
How He saved my soul and washed my sins away
I have a longing in my heart to be with Jesus
And I know His coming can't be too far away.
CHORUS
I have a longing In my heart to see the Lord
I've a longing In my heart for His return
Too much troubles here to bear,
Too much worry, too much fear
I've a longing in my heart to see the Lord.
Many times my burdens seem so hard to carry
Many times I have to smile to hide my tears,
But in heaven there will be no cross to carry
There will be no sorrow through the countless years.
CHORUS
I have a longing In my heart to see the Lord
I've a longing In my heart for His return
Too much troubles here to bear,
Too much worry, too much fear
I've a longing in my heart to see the Lord.
