The Heartland

I have been waiting
I have been calling for You
Here in the early morning light
I'm longing to meet You

Lord, I hunger for Your nearness
Once again to feel Your tenderness

I have been praying
I have been listening for You
Have mercy on me, Lord, I cry
And come to my rescue

I can't face myself without You
I'm a wasteland till You make me new

Breaking my fear, reaching me here
In the heartland
Speaking so clear, meeting me here
In the heartland

I have been watching
I have been searching for You
Open my eyes and let me see
How close You are to me

In this place where no one else has been
Savior, come and hold me once again

Breaking my fear, reaching me here
In the heartland
Tasting my tears, loving me here
In the heartland
Speaking so clear, meeting me here
In the heartland
Healing my soul, making me whole
In the heartland

Bless the Lord, my heart
Bless the Lord, my soul
Speak the word, Lord
Make me whole

In this place where no one else has been
Savior, come and hold me once again

Breaking my fear, reaching me here
In the heartland
Tasting my tears, loving me here
In the heartland
Speaking so clear, meeting me here
In the heartland
Healing my soul, making me whole
In the heartland

Breaking my fear, reaching me here
In the heartland
Tasting my tears, loving me here
In the heartland
Speaking so clear, meeting me here
In the heartland
Healing my soul, making me whole
In the heartland
