Oh how I wait with expectant heart Prepared and longing for life to start Waiting in hope and longing for His promise Seeking He who brings light to the dark.
Oh that I may meet He who comes to save The One who brings true light to my life And may I welcome Him with arms apart To the life-path which I light and pave.
Oh to receive the One for whom I long The answer to my love's long pining To find and be with He who is the One To whom alone and always do I belong.
Oh for His coming I so deeply now desire Humbly going forth to seek His light Longing that in His presence I become Part of His loving heart, truly set afire.
Oh as I seek and long, holy flame in hand To light and guide and seek in prayer The Holy One's coming long awaited In prayer that in His light I may always stand.
Dear Jesus may I be truly prepared In the darkness of this time of waiting May my life's lamp of love remain brightly lit Illuminating a pathway straight to You And in all and everything I say and do I long to meet and truly follow You Help me be ready when love lights the way Through dark times into the light of day.
