My Greatest Desire
My single greatest want is to forever be with You,
More than this my want to be in restfulness imbued.
More than all the loved ones with whom I shall reunite,
More than all the riches in which my heart could delight,
When I, through the gates arrive, shall my soul seek for You
For this is a reuniting that's been overdue!
Though I never have, my Lord, been blessed to see Thy face,
Somehow do I miss it like a well-familiar grace.
These my eyes that ever searched the skies to see Your sight,
Once they find their aim, shall never blink to miss Your light.
May I never, ever be removed from Thee again,
For You are the only goal my soul has longed to gain!
