With the One I Love

"Soon and very soon
My King is coming
Robed in righteousness
And crowned with love
When I see Him,
I shall be made like Him
Soon and very soon

Soon and very soon
I'll be going to the place
He has prepared for me
There my sin erased,
my shameful garden
Soon and very soon

I will be with the One I love
With unveiled face I'll see Him
There my soul will be satisfied
Soon and very soon

Soon and very soon
See the procession
The angels and the elders
round the thrown
At His feet I lay
My grant, my wishing
Soon and very soon

I will be with the One I love
With unveiled face I'll see Him
There my soul will be satisfied
Soon and very soon

Though I have not seen Him
My heart knows Him well
Jesus Christ the Lamb, the Lord of heaven

I will be with the One I love
With unveiled face I'll see Him
There my soul will be satisfied
Soon and very soon
Soon and very soon
Soon and very soon"
~ "Soon", Hillsong United, "Across The Earth"

This song has been singing in my head and heart all through this day. I have been feeling homesick in recent times, especially in the past months. The thought of this passing world just makes me long for my eternal home. I have nothing I want really, in this earth. All is fading, all is degenerating, all is wasting away. I feel so misplaced at times, that I just want to be still and bask in the fact that God still wants me to be here for His purposes. There are some unfinished business that I'm tasked for. That is the only strength that push me to live each day from the objective sense of perspective.

I thank You for this longing deep in my heart. Just to return home, to be where You are. Where with unveiled face, I will be with You, the One I Love. Keep me here till You come or call me home, for as long as You want me to. Let this longing grow all the more stronger that I may not forget that this shore of life is but a temporary one.
