Many years ago I heard this song on a CD and was moved by it. Though I didn't fully grasp the words at the time, I am really glad to have this now on hymnal.net and can muse over it some more.
What touches me is that this is a honest prayer that we can offer to the Lord: seeking Him while knowing our condition, and giving Him the thoroughfare for His will, His heart's desire to be carried out.
