The Way That I Miss You

First, I gave you breath for living
Then a will to choose your way
Food and water there for the taking
Night for rest and light for day
It’s been some time between the garden
And the rush of modern age
Still, there’s nothing new under heaven
Same excuses, just a different page
Do you wonder if I’m sleeping
Wonder if those prayers got through
Do you miss Me, child, when you’re running
The way that I miss you
I created you to honor
And to glorify My Name
Now your world is filled with distraction
Wins and losses, serious games
So the fellowship will suffer
For a season, for a time
In the end, our love for each other
Will survive and be refined
Come and rest, come out of your weariness
Open arms are waiting to hold you, hold you
Do you miss Me, child, when you’re running
The way that I miss you
Do you miss Me, child
When you’re running, running
The way, the way that I miss you
