EARLY WILL I SEEK YOU

Sometimes we lack zeal in seeking the Lord;

Iniquity and sin bind us with a very strong cord.

But desperate times will drive us to re-consider;

How we must seek God with genuine endeavor!

 

The deep needs of the soul will drive us relentlessly;

The dangers, the soul’s thirst remind us to seek God early.

Wisdom is found and the soul finds God again;

And deep within the soul there is now a new refrain.

 

The lovingkindness of God is found afresh and real;

And before a great and wonderful God the soul kneels.

There is a new desire to dwell under the shadow of His wings;

There is a new sense of hope, a new song dedicated to the King.

 

The seeking of the Lord is an important discipline to cultivate;

Desiring to draw close to the Lord, we must not hesitate!

The Lord will lovingly draw us close to Himself with mercy;

How our lips must offer songs of praise to Him most gratefully.
