The moon yearns the sun;

ꜱʏʟᴠᴀ

Ya Rabbi, do you hear my cries at night?

Ya Rabbi, im yearning for your light

Ya Rabbi, I feel I’m losing this fight

So, Lord, Set me right

And guide me back to you

 

Oh I yearn for you like the moon yearns the sun

Like how the earth yearns the sky

I need you and you need none,

So Lord, Im looking up high

Searching for you in the sky

I’m looking for a light

To guide me back to you

 

I need you like the moon needs the sun,

And, Lord, I feel like I’m lost at sea

And It all just feels so overdone

Ya rabb I need you to help me

So guide me back to you

 

I need you like the moon needs the sun

Like the earth longs for rain

Like the fire yearns to burn

Like the pained yearn their gain

 

I need you like the stars need the sky

Like the ocean yearns the shore

Like the soul yearns to cry

 

I need you now and for evermore

So guide me back to you

    This is truly beautiful the weaving of the yearnings and needs and the longs works so well. It is so nicely woven into a fabric. A fave
