Longing

You are so dear, so close to me
And through these trying years
You've stood beside me faithfully
You've caught my many tears

I know we've never been apart
You've felt my pain and joy
You've held and healed my wounded heart
Each doubt and fear destroyed

You've been my friend, my sweet relief
My Daddy, wise and strong
You've held me, loved me, rescued me
For one more thing I long

I long to hold your nail-pierced hands
And kiss each precious scar
The wounds that broke this sinner's bands
So beautiful and marred

I want to look into your eyes
Those wells of strength and grace
And thank you for the love that binds
To tell you face to face

When in your arms, Oh that great day!
My every dream's fulfilled
You paid the price, you made the way
Your grace this moment willed

I'll lay my head upon your chest
And shed sweet tears of joy
The sorrow of each trial and test
This moment has destroyed

Until that sweet reunion day
I'll hope and love and grow
And live and dream and work and pray
For grace your face to know

Many questions I would

Many questions I would love
To ask my Saviour dear
I cannot wait to see the day
When He'll dry every tear

When that day comes I think I may
In adoration fall
And forget all things I had to ask
For He is the answer all.

Love the poem Holly.
