I Want To See Jesus

I Want To See Jesus

There are places I have heard of
And traveled only in my mind
But I’ve told myself someday I’m gonna go
Just to walk through ancient cities
And the palaces of kings from long ago
And there are faces in my memory
That I’d love to see again
And at least a thousand dreams I’ve yet to find
They keep changing every morning
But there’s always one that’s heavy on my mind

Chorus
There are many ways my heart may often wander
And I long for some things I may never see in my life
But if every wish came true
And I could have all of my dreams
I would give them all away for just one thing
I want to see Jesus
I want to see Jesus

There’s a restlessness inside me
For a face I’ve never seen
It’s by far the sweetest loneliness I’ve known
And as clear as I can say it
It’s like being gone too long and going home

Chorus
