Young Oceans
The Gates (Live)
[Instrumental]
[Verse 1]
Did You say, "Seek, you will surely find"?
I am searching, Lord turn Your eyes to mine
But I'm weary, and I'm pacing at these gates
Jesus come, come now, don't delay
[Verse 2]
Like a child, ever faithful may I be
This I ask, God of mercy hear my plea
And I have wandered with a soul impure
For this scorn, Father, send a cure
[Interlude]
We go on and on and on and on, all these years
We go on and on and on and on, [2:32?] see the [stars?]
If we go on and on and on and on, ending of our lives
[Bridge]
I come to You my one and only
I promise not to turn my eyes again
Yes I know we're but a breath
But I wanna taste and see and feel You nonetheless
Yeah the years they keep on turning
And I'm battered but I'm burning for You, Lord (Yeah, yeahh)
And I wanna wake and feel Your glory
I wanna speak in tongues of angels for You, Lord (Lord, Lord)
And I wanna sing a song eternal
I wanna trample on the curses of the earth (Yeah, yeahh)
And I wanna call upon Your healing
I wanna see the sick and weary be made new (Yeah, yeahh)
And I wanna swim inside the blessings
I wanna swim inside the blessings of the Lord (Yeah, yeah-ehhh)
[Interlude]
[Verse 3]
Have my heart, dry and dusty though it be
And these lungs; tired from calling out to Thee
Will You come now and make Your home
May we drink the cup of life and overflow
