Story behind the song

We were made to long to be with our Creator. The more we know about Him, the stronger the desire becomes. Yet we're called to live for Him while we're watching and waiting, so others will also recognize Him when He returns... for us.

Lyrics

~Verse 1~
My heart longs for more than just one day a week with You
An aching in my soul to see You
I’ve tried all that they’ve said, I’ve read the books and yet
I still need You; I still long for You
This side of heaven
I’m longing for You this side of heaven

~Verse 2~
Your Spirit lives in me and seals my fate
Claiming victory I’ll run the race
As I long for You;You’re longing for me too
So amazing; Your love and grace
This side of heaven
I’m running the race this side of heaven

~Chorus 1~
So I watch and pray for the day when You come for me
With Your angels across the eastern sky
When the trumpet sounds my heart resounds Your name
And I will fly to meet You; I want to be with You
But until that day I’ll watch and pray this side of heaven
This side of heaven

~Bridge~
And I know that You’ve not left me here alone
For You are with me; ever with me
Yet I’m a stranger in this weary, shadow land
It’s not my home, and I long for home

~Chorus 2~
So I watch and pray for the day when You come for me
With Your angels across the eastern sky
When the trumpet sounds my heart resounds Your name
And I will fly, yes I will fly.
But until that day I’ll watch and pray this side of heaven
This side of heaven
