I long for you

Oh those eyes that see more every season
Since they first fell on me
And your hair that smells of sweet surrender
To the One who set you free

Oh your smile that shines in perfect lines of white
From the Light that lives within
And your lips the scarlet guards of beauty
In the service of the King

CHORUS: I long for you
With everything in me I long for you
Who can say that they have died for you?

Oh your cheeks, they blush with your abundance
You veil your blossoms with leaves
So your Lover alone can know your garden
For the paradise it is

Oh rising straight like David's tower
Your neck stands free, stands fierce
And your joyful surrender to your father
Your immovable defence

CHORUS: I long for you
With everything in me I long for you
Who can say that they have died for you?
And live for you
With everything I have I long for you
Who can say they conquered hell for you?
My love I long for you

In your bosom faith and love are equal
Your youth crowned with purity
You're nurtured and with holiness you nurture
Like a love, mother, queen
