Thirst For Christ

The Mention Of  You

To know you

is to love you

It isn't hard to do

For I fall deep and hard

With just the mention of you

Your name sounds so sweet

it makes me warm inside

And when I say your name

I say it with such pride

You are one in a million

You are in a class all by yourself

And when you are near me

I feel covered in such wealth

To hear your name

moves me...

It makes me feel honest and true

I just fall to pieces Lord

With the mention of you

No matter what mood

I'm in

No matter how I feel

The mention of you inspires me

It makes my purpose real

I only want to tell you

How much you mean to me

and how just the Mention of you

brings me to my knee's

It causes me to close my eyes

it makes me fold my hands

It makes me whisper praises to you

Unlike any other man

You fill me with such awe Lord

I can not comprehend

All the love I feel for you

and all the love you send

If I were to die tomorrow Lord

If I knew I'd get to see

You, the way I imagine you

I'd die willingly

For just the mention of you

fills me with immense desire

To show my faith and unveil my soul

No drug has made me higher

Just the mention of your name

is all it takes, to bring me to

my knee's

The mention of your name

is all it takes to

make my heart see what it see's

I love you more each passing day

the depth is so unreal

For with the mention of your name

actually makes me feel

My life would mean nothing

with out you here with me

Without the love that you give

I couldn't and wouldn't be

The mention of your name

brings tears to my eyes

For I am so in love with you

for you I would surely die

It makes me think of how

You died for me

How you suffered without complaint

how you never once ran free

It makes me think of how

You didn't ask for mercy

and how you did all of that

for him and her and me

Lord, to know you is

to love you

That's all I can say

For I don't know the right words

to use that would explain

The mention of your name

is the sweetest sound

and I thank God I found you

and I thank him

That I feel found

My Thirst For You

By: Sandra Rains

I know I've been here before

and turned my heart away from you

I know I've asked a hundred times

But never believed it would come true

I know I've been bad at times

and even ungrateful I admit

But Lord my thirst is strong now

If you would give me just one sip

I am but a sinner, it's true I lie, cheat and steal

I turn a deaf ear to you at times afraid of what I might hear

I am but a black sheep grazing

in a spread of fields

dying for drink and praying

For my thirst is strong willed

Lord I'm sure you know me

I have talked to you many times

I have cried and complained for years

I have begged you to heal my mind

This time Lord I am certain

I can not do it alone, by myself

If you would please forgive me

and bless me with your help

I would not turn away again

I would be a better friend

I would not shun the needy

I would begin again

I promise Lord, to listen

When I hear your voice in my head Lord

it's just that my thirst is deep

and gets deeper with each word said
