Longing For My Father Poem by Marquita Lawson

How I long to see my Father;
Jesus, His redeeming Son
And I'm thankful for the Spirit,
Who will safely guide me home

Father You gave me everything
You sacrificed Your son's life for me before I could see
You sent Your Holy Spirit to be a comfort in the storm
You know everything about me, yet Your heart for me is warm

And I long to see the Father;
Jesus, His redeeming Son
And I'm thankful for the Spirit,
Who will safely guide me home

I'll never understand the sorrows You faced
Or how You surrounded me with the Light of Your Grace
You took the darkness of my life; made it vanish in the wind
And You've given me a cleaner heart one that You could enter in

And I long to see my Father;
Jesus His redeeming Son
And I'm thankful for the Spirit,
Who will safely guide me home

I long to see You Father;
Jesus Your redeeming Son
And I thank You Holy Spirit,
As You safely guide me home
