Day Is Dimming



The day is dimming and I'm yearning for You
I won't be satisfied till I see Your face
Every victory, every loss
Every tick and every cross
You can put them all in place

Seems I'm finding more of why in these moments
I feel like I'm made to sing of how good You are
The more the years swell by and pass
Each second more than last
It's true by far

That no profound thought or clever rhyme
No soaring, grand melodic line
No theory, philosophy or sign
Can explain it
Can explain

Where You are, I wanna be
It's Your love that has changed me
I'd give the world and all it's charms
For a moment in Your arms
Better is one day with You
Than a thousand elsewhere
A thousand elsewhere

I still remember what it felt like before You
I'm grateful everyday for how things have changed
I'll thank You every way I can
'Cos my life only began
When I heard You call my name

Now, no praise of man, no great acclaim
No humble looking kind of fame
No power, wealth or worldly gain
Could satisfy me
Could ever satisfy

'Cos where You are, I wanna be
It's Your grace that has raised me
I give my whole life to honour You
In whom I live
In whom I move
Better is one day with You
Than a thousand elsewhere

- Day is Dimming by Brooke Fraser

In this life,
I want no one more,
Than the Lord my God,
The lover of my soul.

And with this life,
I want nothing more,
Than to put a smile on His face.
