Oh how my soul longs to be with Him
Exhausted from the trials of the day
I look forward to sitting close by Him
And wait anxiously to what He will say

As He watches, He beckons, Come join Me
I’ll quench your thirst, make you whole
I’ll give you sweet solace beyond measure
At this peaceful haven for your soul

I’ve created a sanctuary for you
To shelter you in a time of storm
Preparing you for trials which are coming
As a new work in you heart I perform

So I retreat to that haven each morning
All my cares at His feet I do lay
I leave them with Him for He loves me
As I travel along life’s narrow way.
