This morning as I read the Word my prescribed portions dealt with God' judgment on Israel as written by Ezekiel and mankind in Revelations. I could not really grasp maybe all that the Lord wanted to say to me through those scriptures because my heart was so longing for His presence.
I thought Oh God I never want to be in the place of your judgment. Not because of the physical torment but I long for your presence. David said "I long for you, my heart cries out for you." I am there. My heart cries out for the presence of the almighty. There are so many things that cloud my mind. There are so many distractions that want my attention. In the middle of it all, I want Jesus.
This morning I am a little jealous of my creative friends who write songs and poetry. If that was my talent I would write a song that describes the longing of my heart for Him. I want to be in His presence. I know that He loves me and is with me. No matter, I want to feel Him. I want to sense His nearness.
I love His acts, I love His blessings and provisions, but today, this morning I just want Him. Thanks to all the songwriters who have helped me today to express my soul.
"Oh, I need Him, like I never needed someone before"
"I need thee, Oh I need thee, every hour I need thee. O bless me now my savior, I come to thee."
"Oh to be in your presence sitting at your feet"
"I need your more, like flowers need the rain"
"Longing longing for Jesus, I have a longing in my heart for him. Just to be near Him to feel His presence, I have a longing in my heart for Him."
"Shut in with God in a secret place, there in His presence beholding His face, gaining new power to run in the race. Oh how I love to be shut in with God."

Hi Steve,
How may I get the lyrics for "Oh, I need him like I never needed someone before?" It's a beautiful worship song.
Thanks for your assistance.
God bless you.
