A message from Pastor Jon Courson where he used the term “longing for heaven”, inspired me to write this song.
*Listeners comments on this song:
“Just wanted to tell you that I’ve listened to ‘Longing for Heaven’ too many times to count. It is an absolutely fantastic song.”
“WOW! Your music is so touching and gets to your spirit. My eyes started to tear as I listened and right there on my computer chair I started to worship my Heavenly Father.”
“Your song on your Myspace page, ‘Longing for Heaven’ made me cry and I felt the presence of God in the room. My great grandmother passed away this weekend and that song reminded me of her. She was a woman of strong faith in Jesus.”
I can’t breathe without You, love without You, laugh without You,
Live without Your love, for me
As I walk though this crazy mixed up world there’s just one
Place I want to be, with You
You opened up my eyes, now I realize
I’m longing for heaven, longing for heaven
I’m longing for heaven, just to be with You
As I step out in faith I see Your glory and Your
Grace raining down on me
A citizen of heaven by Your goodness and
Grace I want to see, You
I need You Jesus, I need You Jesus
I need You Jesus, I need You
