Lord It's Not for What You Give Me Lyrics

Lord It's Not for What You Give Me - First Love Music

...

I sat on the hillside

Looking out over the wilderness

I longed for sweet fellowship

With my father whom I loved

I have been in battles

All week long

Fighting in the ministry

Fighting for the kingdom of God

It left me feeling dry and uncertain

Oh oh

Oh oh

Oh lord it’s not for what you give me

Or all the things you do for me

But for the feeling of being near you

It’s not for what you give me

Or all the things you do for me

But for the feeling of being near you

I just wanna be close to you close to you Lord

That’s why I am working so hard and so long

To serve you that I might be chosen to be near you. t to feel you

To see you

Oh oh

Oh oh

Now I feel so weak

Hunger is coming on me in waves

I feel so dry

I feel so sad

So much pressure in my life and ministry

How I long to be free

Of these earthly feelings

Of discouragement

And uncertainty

Oh oh

Oh oh

Oh Lord it’s not for what you give me

Or all the things you do for me

But for the feeling of being near you 2x

I just wanna be close to you close to you Lord

That’s why I am working so hard and so long

To serve you that I might be

Chosen to be near you

To feel you

To see you

Oh oh

Oh oh

Now I am going through these tests

Tests of my life and ministry

It’s so hard to experience the opposite

Of what you expect to receive

You prayed so much yet it seems

that God does not answer

I know that his spirit is with me

But I long to behold my father’s face

Oh oh

Oh oh

Oh Lord it’s not for what you give me

Or all the things you do for me

But for the feeling of being near you

It’s not for what you give me

Or all the things you do for me

But for the feeling of being near you

I just wanna be close to you close to you Lord

That’s why I am working so hard and so long

To serve you that I might be

Chosen to be near you

To see you

To feel you 2x

Oh oh

It not for what you give me

Or all the things you do for me 2x

I just wanna be close to you close to you Lord

That’s why I am working so hard and so long

To serve you that I might be

Chosen to be near you to feel you

To see you
