Here’s a song by a friend of mine back in Kansas City.  Jacob Hanly. I’ve been continually provoked by his honesty and his artistry and his worship.  They weave between each other, and I believe that’s evident in this song…

 

The Song of Your Return

How can I escape, when every place,
Is marked with Your face.
Where can I hide, for peace of mind,
To numb the memory?
Even the stars sing Your Name.

Love in times like these, is less than sweet,
More like suffocating.
Wave after wave, I’m drowning deep,
What could satisfy me but Your return?

When all of my world has been groaning for You,
What else is there left to do?
But join in the song all creation singing,
the song of Your return.

How else can I prove that my loves true
When you’re not by my side.
Can our love grow, if i cant hold you,
Will distance be the end?
No, it still burns deep within.

Love in times like these, shown forth in deeds,
When I give of my life,
And I won’t stop, until I build a place for You,
A home for our love, I will give You all my love.

When all of my world has been groaning for You,
What else is there left to do?
But join in the song all creation singing,
the song of Your return.

Despite distractions, temptations,
I will not stray.
The hope of that day, will be with me,
Through this night of faith.
Though You are so far, I will hold you close,
To my heart.
My love; committed, both then and now,
And always.

Despite distractions, temptations,
I will not stray.
The hope of that day, will be with me,
Through this night of faith.
Though You are so far, I will hold you close,
To my heart.
My love; is committed, both then and now,
And always
