One Day

To wait until he is welcome

We hold him back

He is poised over us

Eager to reveal his glory

But we chase other things

One day

We'll get out of the way

Or be thrust out

By his indomitable power

Then he will arrive

One day

Soon I pray

-Stephen Pursell, 11/02/03

He prefers to come when he's invited

Hold on, cry out

Lame will dance deaf will sing

Our souls thirsts, our flesh yearns

But the desert will spring

Mighty One of Israel

Lover of our souls

Redeemer, Counselor

Fairest of Ten Thousand

Bright and Morning Star

Lily of the Valley

We behold his lovely face

Lover and the beloved

Rapt in his tender embrace

Wrapped in the cloak of knowing

Oh to be found in him

His glory, his pleasure

His plan, his people

It's about him

He will not be held back

It will come

Like a 50-footer

On the North Shore

A mighty wave

An outpouring, a torrent

No one can contain it
