My Intense Longing

an intense longing
deep and inescapable
my heart's filled with love

eyes focused outward
creates passion for people
want to know their needs

i'm moving so fast
yet i find time to slow down
people who have needs

this intense longing
as i look at my neighbor
pray that it not be short lived

i see flesh and blood
those who are hurt and have fears
let me be their friend

my intense longing
may this feeling fill my heart
move me to action

living with neighbors
seeing Jesus in others
let my heart be touched

you want to see God?
do you long to touch His face?
see Him in broken people
