My heart's desire has waited years,
And yet I'm not completed,
Yes I'm tried unhopeful wishing,
God I'm feeling depleted.

I've listened to Your Words for years,
And I don't understand yet,
I'll spend my life wondering why,
My heart's desire is not met.

I'll not question any longer,
Nor wish upon a bright star,
I'll not stand in a moonlit night,
God my love's just so afar.

It’s been so long ago I wished,
When I believed of love true,
I'll spend my life wondering why,
My heart’s desire’s not in view.

I’ll wonder when the stars shine bright,
In the moon a face appears,
All those wishes for chosen love,
God did you catch all the tears.

Treasures I would always cherish,
Love’s roses, buds, love so sweet,
I’ll spend my life wondering why,
My heart’s desire didn’t meet.
