Lovesick; I Am Yours

I have been listening to Misty Edwards a lot lately. She is a worship leader songwriter for IHOP. Here are a couple of songs that I have been listening to and love...

LOVESICK

I am lovesick, for my Beloved
My Beloved and my Friend
I am lovesick, for my Beloved
My Beloved and my Friend
Only YOU can satisfy

Try as I may to chase another lover,
I find there is, there is no other
Try as I may to chase another lover,
I find there is, there is no other
Only YOU can satisfy

And happy am I, to live a hungry life
Blessed am I, to thirst
Disillusionment, it is my gift within
I am blessed, I am blessed among men!

To be lovesick, for my Beloved
My beloved and my Friend
Only YOU can satisfy

Try as I may to chase another lover,
I find there is, there is no other

All the other lovers fade away
All the other lovers fade away
Only YOU can satisfy

And happy am I, to live a hungry life
And blessed am I, to thirst
My desire for You, it is my gift within
I am blessed, I am blessed among men!

This is the generation, is trying everything
This is the generation of Jacob
This is the generation, doubt all those things

Only YOU can satisfy

This is the generation, is looking for the face of God
This is the generation of Jacob
This is the generation, Searching for the face of God
And only YOU can satisfy

The Spirit and the bride, we say, come!
We say come!

I AM YOURS

Though I sleep, my heart is awake
Though it's night, on You I wait
It's been a long night, and I am weary
It's been a long time, and I am hungry
So I'll wait in the stillness again
I'll wait in the quiet again
For when I heard Your voice
When You said my name
When I heard Your voice
My heart it yearned

In the middle of the night
In the middle of the night
In the middle of the night
My heart it yearns

Though You're far away, still I'm here to say
"I am Yours, I am Yours"
And when You feel so far away, still I am here to say
"I am Yours, I am Yours"

And I pay my vows, no turning around
I burn the bridges they can't be found
For when I heard Your voice
And You said my name
When I heard Your voice
My heart it yearned
For You.

I had no idea the International House of Pancakes had a worship leader. How come I've never seen her there?? :)
