Lyrics

I Long To Be With Jesus
written by Greg Alexander/Generation Sound Publishing / SESAC

I long to be with Jesus
To see His nail scarred hands
Hear Him say "My child, the battle's o'er"
See His thorn-scarred brow
Look into His loving eyes
Reign with Him forever more

And I long to see my loved ones
Who have long since gone to be there
And I long to see the angels dressed in white
But my greatest longing ever is to reign with Christ my Savior
When that trumpet sounds I'll take my flight

Chorus:
Well I long to be with Jesus
When my faith shall end in sight
And no longer in this sinful world I roam
To be adorned in all the splendor
Of His pure and Holy Light
Feel His touch and know I'm safely home

To feel His touch
To feel His touch
To feel His touch and know that I'm safely home
