There Is a Longing
==================
w&m: Anne Quigley, 1992

[Refrain]
There is a longing in our hearts, O Lord,
for you to reveal yourself to us.
There is a longing in our hearts for love
we only find in you, our God.

[Verse 1]
For justice, for freedom, for mercy: hear our prayer.
In sorrow, in grief: be near, hear our prayer, O God.

[Refrain]

[Verse 2]
For wisdom, for courage, for comfort: hear our prayer.
In weakness, in fear: be near, hear our prayer, O God.

[Refrain]

[Verse 3]
For healing, for wholeness, for new life: hear our prayer.
In sickness, in death: be near, hear our prayer, O God.

[Refrain]

[Verse 4]
Lord save us, take pity, light in our darkness.
We call you, we wait: be near, hear our prayer, O God.

[Refrain]
