The Lord longs to be gracious to you (Isaiah 30:18; NIV).
You long to heal us
And forgive,
To make us new
So we may live.
You ache to help us,
And to guide,
So we can shelter
At your side.
You thirst for oneness
With us all,
So you can save us
When we fall.
You wait for us
To turn to you,
And ask your help
With all we do.
He helps me, and my heart is filled with joy (Psalm 28:7; NLT).
