the song of Your return - jacob hanly

How can I escape, when every place,
Is marked with Your face.
Where can I hide, for peace of mind,
To numb the memory?
Even the stars sing Your Name.

Love in times like these, is less than sweet,
More like suffocating.
Wave after wave, I'm drowning deep,
What could satisfy me but Your return?

When all of my world has been groaning for You,
What else is there left to do?
But join in the song all creation's singing,
the song of Your return.

How else can I prove that my loves true
When you're not by my side.
Can our love grow, if I cant hold you,
Will distance be the end?
No, it still burns deep within.

Love in times like these, shown forth in deeds,
When I give of my life,
And I won't stop, until I build a place for You,
A home for our love, I will give You all my love.

When all of my world has been groaning for You,
What else is there left to do?
But join in the song all creation singing,
the song of Your return.

Despite distractions, temptations,
I will not stray.
The hope of that day, will be with me,
Through this night of faith.
Though You are so far, I will hold you close,
To my heart.
My love; committed, both then and now,
And always.

And always.

Understanding

There's more than I know of You, give me understanding.
My ears barely hear and my eyes hardly see, give me understanding.
I'm a stranger in this place and I go against the grain, You understand me.
When rejection's in my face and no one 'gets' my heart, You understand me.

So I stand under You, Your wings are my refuge. Yah I draw near to You, when You move I move too.

When I'm lacking wisdom I ask by Your mercy, give me understanding.
Adversity's winds whirl around; my mind's stayed on You, my peace, give me understanding.
While we pioneer this road and that loneliness sets in, You understand me.
Your faithful kindness drawing me, I will follow where You lead, You understand me.

So I stand under You, Your wings are my refuge. Yah I draw near to You, when You move I move too.

My Daddy understands me when no one else does.
My Daddy understands me; no one loves me like He loves.
He made me for His arms,
He says "I love you as you are"

So I stand under You, Your wings are my refuge. Yah I draw near to You, when You move I move too. I lift my hands up to You and I trust You'll walk me through.

Hold me like no one else can
In grace I have yet to understand.
