Zion - My Epic

Like a bride, blushing bides on the bed for the touch of her love to arrive

Other passions may call and loom but she will wait for her groom

Just the same

I am restless for You

As the vagrant, dreams of vacant lands to plow, and a hearth to call home

But each distance only fails him so he’ll keep drifting through

Just the same

I am restless for You

You loved me first and fully when nothing lovely existed

All before then grew dim in the light of desire awakened

And all else be cursed

I choose rather this thirst

No man, no land, no task for my hand ever soothes

I stay restless for You

All I am, was made for You and no other will do

So I stay restless for You

You loved me first and fully when nothing lovely existed

And gifted grace til my heart could awaken, embrace, and return it

All I see now every goodness, each beauty and blessing

Are but tremor and wake and stir me further to love and to longing

Only for you

Does my soul wait

Do my bones ache

I’ll not be satisfied

Till my hopes and my eyes

Both alight on that view

There leave longing behind

I’ll discard my desire

When I’m resting in You
