Lyrics
[Organ and Trumpet intro]
[Verse 1]
I thought love would come to me
I’d ignore the warning signs
------------------
I held hope despite the pass
In this life of my design
[Pre-Chorus]
Is there more than what I have?
More than getting through the day?
[Chorus]
Is there something for this ache?
That won’t always slip away?
This longing in my heart
Has never had a name.
------------------
This longing in my heart
Has never had a name.
[Verse 2]
I learned which hours not to work
crowded roads I should avoid
------------------
I looked for any path to use
To keep away from all the noise
[Pre-Chorus]
Is there more than what I have?
More than getting through the day
[Chorus]
Is there something for this ache?
That won’t always slip away?
This longing in my heart
Has never had a name.
------------------
This longing in my heart
Has never had a name.
[Verse 3]
I almost didn’t go that day
I almost turned my eyes aside
------------------
But in the steady way You spoke
There was nothing left to hide
[Trumpet interlude]
------------------
[Bridge]
We fill our days with smaller answers
tough doubts aren’t asked out loud
We learn to keep our hearts distracted
We keep our distance from the crowd
We avoid
We run
We judge
We shun
But do we share the living water?
Will we meet with anyone?
------------------
[Verse 4]
I came for water,
nothing more
------------------
He asked for the same
He told me so much more
[Pre-Chorus]
There’s now more than what I have
I await each passing day.
[Chorus]
There is something for this ache
That won’t ever slip away
This longing in my heart
Now has a name.
This longing in my heart
Now has a name.
[Outro]
I was going for water,
I was going to walk away
I stayed longer than I planned
something in me made me stay.
[Trumpet solo]
------------------
This longing in my heart
Now has a name.
------------------
He told me who I was
He told me who he is
Come see a man
Come see a man
[Trumpet outro]
[spoken]
Come see a man....
