The Way To Love You

Rich Mullins


"Please take me with You walking 
I'm ready to walk now with You 
The path that You follow is narrow and straight 
It leads beyond worlds I once knew 

Please take me with You walking 
My feet are so anxious to go 
This slumber is empty and so far from the world 
So far from the world that You know 

Take me I'm Yours and I'm wanting to know 
All You are and what I am when I am with You 
Take me Jesus without You I know I am lost 
And I need You to show me the way 
The way to love You 

Please take me with You dancing 
I'm ready to follow Your steps 
I've waltzed with wonders in armor that's shined 
All polished and properly kept 

Please take me with You dancing 
These illusions all left behind 
I'll take the feeling of life in my arms 
Where once I felt left behind 

Take me I'm Yours and I'm wanting to know 
All You are and what I am when I am with You 
Take me Jesus, without You I know I am lost 
And I need You to show me the way 
The way to love You 

Though the deserts find me a-thirsting there 
If You lead me I'll follow anywhere 
Though the oceans toss me about in rage 
I will walk with You over every wave 

Call me and I'll wake from this tiring sleep 
Let me know just one gratifying need 
And when life is done and the dance is through 
I will know the joy 
Of having needed You 

Please take me with You laughing 
Knowing that life was well lived 
Having had hungered for all that You are 
There with You I will be filled 

Please take me with You Jesus 
I'm ready to join in the song 
Morning is breaking 
The silence is stirred 
Life has only begun"
