I Will Fly Swiftly
Here I am at the doors of Your Mercy
Won't You please let me in?
I'm striving hard to obtain Your Pleasure…
Free me, please, from all these sins
Because —
I love You more than words could ever say
I want to always be near Thee
I love You more and more each day
You are the Essence of my being
The Center of my desire
and there is no way but the way back to Thee
Rabb, keep me safe from the burning fire
There is nothing to live for,
If I can't live for Thee
And there is nothing to hope for,
If all hope is lost of Thee
Many hearts yearn for Thy Nearness
Every day and every night
My eyes shed tears from all of this longing
Starting afresh with each new dawning light
My soul yearns to be back Home
But like a prisoner here I dwell
With all of this chaos and confusion
My heart feels to burst from the yearning swell
The pain of separation from You my Beloved,
has me feeling as though I'm in a void
And though weary, I tarry here patiently
Then I will fly swiftly back Home to Thee.
