Not As This World

Blinded by shining tears

I've walked out into fields just to find You

Thirsting for living water

I've struck the rock in anger just to remind You

Holy God, You promised me Your peace

And I'm still here holding on

Please release me

Everything I want may not be what You want for me

Not as this world gives, do You give

I'm starting to see, release me

Five thousand miles from home

I come into my own, is this blessing?

I've found riches in my exile

I'm strongest when I'm fragile, You keep me guessing

Holy God, I'm starving at Your feast

I can't help feeling so unworthy

Please release me

Everything I want may not be what You want for me

Oh, oh, not as this world gives, do You give

I'm starting to see, release me

Release me, release me, release me

Holy God, I'm starving at Your feast

Oh c'mon, I'm feeling so unworthy

Please release me, oh please release me

Everything I want may not be what You want for me

Oh, oh, not as this world gives, do You give

I'm starting to see, release me
