lyrics

I cannot sing a song to a god who does not know what I'm going through
But you are Father, you know my every move
I cannot offer praise to a God who's distant
a god who's far away
But I give you praise
You are the God who stays

Many lies come to keep us up at night and keep us sleeping through the light
Still you wake me with a song to lighten the load and light the way
And though at times I slip and fall in this fight
You never let me out of your sight
Keep me near you
I want to be there for everything you say

Undeserving
Sometimes it's so unnerving how you persist when we resist
It doesn't make much sense
We simply don't understand a Father who loves us without end
It's easy to say
But it's so much harder to let you have your loving way

Your mercy is overwhelming all of me
Your relentless love is setting me free
Overcome me
Overshadow everything that would keep me from being
The me that you've created me to be

about

The Longing Selmer, Tennessee

The Longing is music by John and Yvonne Cullimore.

We seek to bring music that will connect with you both in sound and poetry, melding loops and beats with hammered dulcimer, 12-string guitar and layers of vocals and harmonies.

More importantly is that we enjoy our music, and can use them for worship and prayer. We certainly do hope and pray that you can do the same.
