My heart’s cry
To really know
That I am
Entirely His
That each day
My life
My all
Belongs to Him
Acknowledging this
That I possess
Nothing
Save Christ
Letting go
Of worldly things
To cling to Him
Alone
These words express
My heart’s desire
But is this my
Reality
Have I given
All of me
To Him
Completely
What do I hold back
Unwilling
To lay it down
At His feet
The heart can be
Deceptive
Telling lies
To soothe my conscience
But there is yet
A voice that speaks
Into the deepest
Part of me
It bids me come
Closer still
To pursue with
Reckless abandon
Reaching, longing
Gasping for Him
All else fades
Into irrelevance
Christ alone
My one desire
That I would be
Entirely His
But there is yet
A voice that speaks
Into the deepest
Part of me
It bids me come
Closer still
To pursue with
Reckless abandon
Reaching, longing
Gasping for Him
All else fades
Into irrelevance
It is a compelling call. The closer I get, the more I hear it. The more of Him I have, the more I want. Nothing else matters really. . . except the hope that He might use what I have found to help others find the same.
I had a thought this morning along these lines – if you stretch it a little. Being a builder of high end homes, I understand there are fewer of them because there are not many in the market for them. Similarly, I wonder sometimes if we have not experienced high end Christianity. There are not as many in the market for it.
Still there is the compelling call and a trust that He will bring those across my path that have a similar hunger.
Wonderful words! Once we have a taste of heaven nothing else will suffice!
