Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
trying to find you
Watching 'round every turn,
hoping our eyes might meet
Jesus, my friend,
I love you
Jesus, my friend,
I love you
Meet me here as I am
Broken in two
Meet me here as I am
Longing for you
Meet me here as I am
Just as I am
I will be satisfied
when I awaken in Your likeness for eternity
But till I see Your eyes
I will abide within the vine
that upholds all my dreams
in You.
And broken I desire,
to fall upon you
To rest here in your arms,
to be with you where you are
Jesus, my friend,
I love you
Jesus, my friend,
I love you
I know
I will be satisfied
when I awaken in Your likeness for eternity
But till I see Your eyes
I will abide within the vine
that upholds all my dreams
in You.
I will be satisfied
when I awaken in Your likeness for eternity
But till I see Your eyes
I will abide within the vine
that upholds all my dreams
in You.
Sustain me
come to me
as I live for you
as I live for you
Sustain me
come to me
as I live for you
as I live for you
