I Have A Heart That Would- Nicodemus

I lay here it is night and I cannot sleep I have so many questions burning down deep   

I need to see him my heart needs to know, but what of the others I dare not go              

My heart it yearns for what he will say, I have not heard such love in any other day

Such passion in his words it pierces my heart I hung on every word I am torn apart         

I must know what it means I want to understand for God holds him in the palm of His hand

 

If I am seen I could be ripped from the position in the temple or maybe even stoned

These fears inside have left me feeling cold and very, very alone

Strange but I know there is comfort in hearing the sound of his voice

I must go to him come what may for I have decided I have made my choice

 

The words that he speaks the wonders he performs

He lays his hands and heals the sick and calms the storms

God must be with him for these signs and wonders to come forth

 

We have long awaited the arrival of the Messiah could he be the Christ?

What if we reject him when he comes to deliver his people from bondage

For God will choose how the Christ will come it is not for us to judge

 

His ways are different from what we have ever known

He is like a shepherd calling us to be his very own

I am going to search for him I don’t care whether or not I should…

For if his love is poured out to me I have a heart that would….
