ONE Have I Desired

ONE Have I Desired


Thank You Father, Thank You Almighty One in Three.
Thank You for making Yourself known to me.
You give us Yourself and each other
And make us Joint Heirs with your Son!
The Lord is my Shepherd
I shall not want.  

To be human and alone 
Is more than any should ever have to bear.
You made us in your Image and Likeness
With all things you have made us 
According to Your will, your purpose and pleasure.
To know you and be known.

We are made to taste, to touch, to smell,
But most of all to see
And hear the sound of Your Holy Voice
Your Dear Son's calling from Above
That we open to Him our heart's door 
And host Him ever more. 

What pearl could be so precious?
What treasure 'neath the dirt?
Who on earth more lovely?

Without You what have we now
But fading flesh and bones?
But with You all is loving known forever.

You have a Kingdom coming,
And there You'll be enthroned.
From out of Your Highest heaven
It will descend to earth
And to us be opened
Who know You as our own.

Of dust Your hand did form us,
Your breath made live our souls.
With us you tell the greatest tale's been told.
And to us do Your mysteries unfold.
We would rather Jesus than silver or gold. 
You O God are all we would behold.


"One thing have I desired of the LORD, that will I seek after; that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the LORD, and to enquire in his temple."

Psalm 27:4
