With All My Heart, I Seek God
With all my heart, I seek God*
In need of His helping grace.
Trusting Him, I thank His omnipotence
Hoisting me up from rigors of work’s load
Anchoring me upon His peace-bulwark.
Love He offers, I receive
Leading me to His blessings.
My life in Him now is truly secured
Yelling victory, I exalt His name
Heading heaven-ward thru holiness’ paths.
Empowered by His Spirit
Armored against temptations
Revived, I come to His presence humbly
To worship Him by faith for Who He is:
Immortal, infinite, invisible!
Saving my soul from hell’s wrath
Eternally, He’s my Lord; around Him my life revolves.
Expecting my service that He deserves
Keeps me seeking for His kind approval
Granting me His wise guidance-bestowments.
Oh, to live for God, my Love, my Lover, my Friend ... is bliss;
Delighted am I to share His love toward others' redemption!
*Psalm 34:4 "I sought the LORD, and he heard me, and delivered me from all my fears."
