My Heart Expecting
My hope is in You alone.
You are the rock on which I stand.
I trust in Your word.
So I won't build my home on sand.
How freeing to know You.
I want to be ready when You speak.
With my heart expecting,
it's Your face I seek.
On my knees and hands raised high
I listen with intent.
You are my good Father.
To You I fully repent.
I will follow You forever.
What You speak I want to speak.
Use what You want.
You made me unique.
You are the potter
And I am the clay.
Where You go I'll go.
When You stay I'll stay.
