There's a longing deep inside me

Some say is a good thing

Even though it's producing such an achin' in my heart

And all this restless imagination of what eternity is like

And seeing God for the first time

Brings a sense of fear but anticipation

Like streaks of gold and purple

Mixing in the morning sky

Just before the sun rises

With it's blinding glow

And it takes my breath away!



Dying to meet You in a heavenly new light

Searching the clouds for possibilities

Dying to meet You, see if all I've learned it true

Throwing away these vain philosophies

Oh, beyond this curtain that I'm clinging to

I know it's You

I know it's You



Came through a process as I searched for my identity

So many things I didn't know and surely never thought I'd learn

Only to find nothing is gained until I give myself away

In a final crowning gesture to the bright and morning star who lives

Jesus is my soul creator who lives and died for me

And I will now return His favor

My heart will stop when I know His face I see



Dying to meet You, we'll sing a brand new song

About the passing of the painful things

Dying to meet You, sad memories are gone

Lost in Your presence as new freedom rings

Oh, above the curtain that I'm clinging to

I still need You, I still need You



Like streaks of gold and purple mixing in the eastern sky

Just before the sun rises with it's blinding glow

And it takes my breath away



Dying to meet You, we'll sing a brand new song

About the passing of the painful things

Dying to meet You, sad memories are gone

Lost in Your presence as new freedom rings

Oh, above this curtain that I'm clinging to

I know it's You, I know
