Lyrics
What I've Been Missing © 2009 Currie/Barron (Ascap)
Close my eyes- to get away
In my darkness - I will pray
Jesus comes - to me at night
Helps me turn - what's wrong to right
.
Guides me through - my trying times,
Gives me hope - and helps me find
Jesus comes - to me at night
Helps me turn - from the darkness to His light.
What I've been missing/ what I've been missing
What I've been missing/ draws me closer to you...
The days are long - but now I found
There's more to life - than feeling down.
The sun will shine - the moon will glow
Life's different now- cause now I know
You're the One I've been missing/ You're the One I've been missing/ You're the One I've been missing/ Oh. Lord, You are the One! (Repeat)
Bridge:
How your love has changed my life
Since I gave my heart to you...
Freedom, Forgiveness...
Eternal life with you!
Oh, Jesus, I was a broken child,
And enslaved to the night.
But now I am a new creation,
and a child of the light!!!
chorus "You're the one I've been missing.."
