FLING WIDE Misty Edwards LIVE

Soul Cry

As the deer pants for the water, my soul longs for You As the body dies without water, my soul dies without You They may say, “Come on, get over it. Drink, be merry, for tomorrow we die.” That’s why I’d rather sit in the house of mourning than at the table with fools “Blessed are the hungry.” You said it, I believe it Hunger is an escort into the deeper things of You You satisfy, You satisfy As the deer pants for the water, my soul longs for You As the body dies without water, my soul dies without You My soul cries, my soul cries, my soul cries for You Take me to the place where You satisfy, take me to the river I’ll do anything God, there is no price, take me to the river They may say, “Come on, get over it, everything is OK.” They may say, “Why the hunger? Why the thirsting? Why the mourning?” But my soul cries. All my tears You hold in a bottle You will pour them out like rain Weeping endures for the night, for the night But joy comes in the morning

Joy comes in the morning Blessed are the hungry, blessed are the thirsty You said it, I believe it Hunger is the escort into the deeper things of You Deep is calling out to deep is calling out to deep (3x) Yesterday’s depth is feeling really shallow I’ve gotta go deeper, deeper, deeper still As all of Your waves and all Your billows crash over me, pulling me deep, deep, deeper From glory to glory, from strength to strength, from depth to depth, I want to fellowship with You You are not so far away, it is not so mysterious You are living on the inside of me, the Spirit on the inside of me Spring up, O well, spring up, O well, spring up, O well within me Spirit of the living God Spring up, O well, spring up, O well, spring up, O well within me Spring up, O well, spring up, O well within me I’ve got a river of life Spring up, O well, spring up, O well, spring up, O well within me

Oh, that You would rend the heavens Oh, that You would rend the heavens

Oh, that You would rend the heavens and come down We miss You, Jesus, and we want You to return We are lovesick, Jesus, we just want You to come back The Spirit and the Bride say, “Come” The Spirit and the Bride say, “Come” Oh, that You would rend the heavens Oh, that You would rend the heavens Oh, that You would rend the heavens and come down Come down! Just come down! Lord, come down! We pull on the strings of Your heart I know You, I know You You are full of compassion, justice, and love How long will oppression prevail? How long? How long? How long? You’re the only solution You’re the only resolution

Resting Place

Here, O Lord Here, O Lord, have I prepared a place for You Long have I desired for You to dwell Here, O Lord, have I prepared a resting place Here, O Lord, I wait for You alone Here, O Lord

Come As Close As You Want

Come as close as You want Consume this heart that longs to burn I know Your fire can hurt But I would be worse here without You For I was made to dwell with You And how I ache until I do Holy God, take my heart Purge with flame and truth A holy heart is all I want That I may live with You Come and take all these chains That get in the way of what You want As I stand in the flame Still I will say, “I trust You, God”

Awake, awake, O north wind Awake, awake, O south wind Blow over me Come, O wind of testing Come, winds of refreshing Blow over me

Let the winds blow Fling wide the door to my soul Open up the door to my heart Have Your way, have Your way, have Your way I won’t be afraid I will face the wind I won’t be afraid I’ll embrace the flame Let the winds blow Take me through the fire Take me through the rain Take me through the testing I’ll do anything Test me, try me, prove me, refine me like the gold Like the gold

Lovesick

I am lovesick for my Beloved, my Beloved and my Friend So very lovesick, for my Beloved, my Beloved and my Friend Only You can satisfy, only You can satisfy Happy am I to live a hungry life Blessed am I to thirst Disillusionment, it is my gift within I am blessed among men

Happy am I to live a hungry life Blessed am I to thirst My desire for You is my gift within I am blessed among men The Spirit and the Bride say, “Come” We say, “Come!”

Take My Heart

For a long time, I have waited for You You have won My heart, I am following For a long time, I’ve been crying out for You Tears make my heart soft, I am ready for The return of the Lover Fashioned from the very fabric of God At the start of time, set free to decide I will love You, You’re the One who loved me first Just one look from Your eye, I’m captivated by The eyes of the Lover Take my heart, my mind and strength too I was made for loving You I will wait and I’ll be faithful I was made for loving You Bowing low in the presence of the One At the end of time, I’ll hear the bells chime For our wedding, it will wait no longer now Oh, how I love You, I’ll finally fall into The arms of the Lover

“What does love look like?” is the question I’ve been pondering “What does love look like?” “What does love look like?” is the question I’ve been asking of You I once believed that love was romance, just a chance I even thought that love was for the lucky and the beautiful I once believed that love was a momentary bliss, but love is more than this If all You ever wanted was my attention All You ever wanted was love from me All You ever wanted was my affection To sit here at Your feet

I sat down, a little frustrated and confused If all of life comes down to love Then love has to be more than sentiment, selfishness, and selfish gain Then I saw Him there, hanging on a tree, looking at me I saw Him there hanging on a tree, looking at me He was looking at me, looking at Him, staring through me I could not escape those beautiful eyes I began to weep and weep He had arms wide open, a heart exposed Arms wide open, He was bleeding, bleeding Love’s definition, love’s definition was looking at me, looking at Him, hanging on a tree I began to weep and weep and weep This is how I know what love is (8x) As I sat there weeping, crying Those beautiful eyes, full of desire and love He said to me, “You shall love Me, you shall love Me, you shall love Me, you shall love Me”

wrong places If you’ve been searching for love, come to Me, come to Me Take up your cross, deny yourself, forget your father’s house, run, run to Me You were made for abandonment, wholeheartedness You were made for someone greater, someone bigger, so follow Me You’ll come alive when you learn to die

With arms wide open, a heart exposed Arms wide open, bleeding, sometimes bleeding With arms wide open, a heart exposed Arms wide open, bleeding, bleeding If anybody’s looking for love in all the
