One Thing

orchidee



Tune: Crimond

('The Lord's my Shepherd')

Psalm 27 v.4

********

If one wish, one desire, one thing

Amongst life's everything

What shall we choose, what shall it be

We wish to have and see?

 

The Psalmist his one thing desired

It his intentions fired

He desired of the Lord, did seek

Him with soul humble, meek

 

It was that he may dwell within

The Lord's house, free from sin

All the days of his life to view

The Lord's beauty anew

 

For him it be delightfulness

The Lord would prosper, bless

Him as he in temple enquired

Of the Lord, so [he] desired

    I read this in the morning and it was [being about my Lord] pretty enough but I didn't get it. I read it again a few hours on, and it is delightful [now awake.]

    I too am seeking to dwell in the house of God.

    Thanks for sharing this heart-stirring piece.

    -Lolly

      Thanks La. One thing you're wanting - is me to chuck cold water over you, to wake you up?! lol.
