"Yearning"

 As long as it takes for my Lord to return
 So long will my spirit continue to yearn
 For all that is hoped for that life can't provide 
 Till rapture extends it beyond the divide
 In this age is longing, in that age is peace
 And only in that age will this longing cease
 I walk in His footsteps from yearning to gain
 The kingdom within me yet groaning in pain
