I Wanna See You
Matt Brouwer Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Jesus, I am reaching, I'm longing for You now
To meet me in my weakness and heal me with Your power

I wanna see You, open up my eyes, I wanna see You tonight

Jesus, I am ready to leave the past behind
But I'm still hesitating, oh to let go in my mind
I'm fighting with confusion and I'm drowning in my sin




I thought I knew the answers but I'm left unsatisfied within
