Great Reward

When You call across the waters
When You come to draw me near
I will find the place of silence
I will wait with open ear
For beyond all my expectation
You desire to pour Your grace
Oh, if only my eyes were opened
To see You face to face

This is my hunger, Lord
This is the bread that satisfies me
This is my great reward
This is the treasure that I will cherish

When I’m wandering in the desert
Fainting from the heat of the day
You are near to give me shelter
And to guide me on the way
No matter the road be weary
It will lead to great delight
And for now I will find my pleasure
Being at Your side

This is my hunger, Lord
This is the bread that satisfies me
This is my great reward
This is the treasure that I will cherish

Through the night, until the dawn
For this one thing I long
To know what it means to know You

When I’m adrift in stormy weather
You come walking in the night
You call my name with sweet compassion
I am rescued by the sight
Of Your arms reaching out to guide me
And to take me by the hand
As long as my eyes are on You
I’ll find the strength to stand
