Breaking Point

Oh God!  How long must I wait
for your promised inheritance
to receive that which you have given me?
Do not try my patience any longer
for I do not know how much I can bear
Lord you tempt me with your good gifts
you tease me with your love

Lord Jesus, come quickly because I've had all that I can take
Come quickly! Come quickly!  I'm about to break.

You have me at my breaking point
my whole body lurching forward
wanting desperately for more of you
but you keep your distance
and I'm trying not to scream
"Take me I'm yours!" as my body gives in
Your like a weight in my branches
slowly sinking lower as the tension builds
bending but not breaking but I'm about to snap

Lord Jesus, come quickly because I've had all that I can take
Come quickly! Come quickly!  I'm about to break.

Lord around you my walls collapse
as each nerve fires from synapse to synapse
you're like war drums round Jericho
each beat pulsing with passion upon passion
And I collapse in a glowing heap of flesh and blood
Lord who knew you could be so good!
But my rapture ends so shortly and you leave me wanting more
crying like a child on his bedroom floor
How I long for you like a groom for his bride
so please, won't you please come take me down the aisle?

Lord Jesus, come quickly because I've had all that I can take
Come quickly! Come quickly!  I'm about to break.

I know you have no limits, but understand that I have mine
I want to break the bread, I want to taste the wine
And you have me on my back, body arched and supine
thinking "How beautiful the image of God and Man entwined!"

Lord Jesus, come quickly because I've had all that I can take
Come quickly! Come quickly!  I'm about to break.

Lord, do not hold back your promise
How much longer must I wait?
As eagerly as I count the seconds
They pass me by like days
Lord, don't you know that I love thee
every hour I am awake?
My love is meek and mild, but it's softly getting stronger
building and building until now there's no return
so deliver me, oh my God!  Deliver me from my oppression!
Free me from my suspense!
My God!  My God!  You have me losing sense.

Lord Jesus, come quickly because I've had all that I can take
Come quickly! Come quickly!  I'm about to break.

Don't you know what you do to me
every time you draw near?
Your like a man's first kiss
or a silent whisper in my ear
So shall I sit here and burn with passion
or do you want me to burn at the stake?
Have your way with me, Oh God
for it is no longer I who live but You.

Lord Jesus, come quickly because I've had all that I can take
Come quickly! Come quickly!  I'm about to break.
