All the riches of Christ Archives - Page 2 of 5

A Hunger for God, and for Souls

So, daily hunger for God
For hungry souls, that yearn
To follow Jesus, and multiply
A fruitful harvest, in return.

With now our body, His Temple
Glorify God, in all He gives
Our soul, belongs to God
By His Spirit, our spirit lives.

So forsake selfish wants
Earthly pleasures and pressures
Instead “Here am I”
“LORD, You are my treasure.”

So many riches, in Christ
We are rich, beyond measure
A weight of glory, eternal
In Christ Jesus, our treasure.

We have one life on earth
How will it be spent
Self-effort, self- sufficient
Or lived, as God meant?

So now repentant, trusting Him
Born anew, from above
We are now, His own possession
Redeemed, by Jesus’ love.

Daily follow and abide
Lift to Him, every thought
As I feed on Your Word
Obey all I am taught.

So do pray, that our hearts
Remain steadfast, unmoved
Walk by faith, not feelings
In Christ, wholly approved.

With other cisterns, we still thirst But not the waters, Jesus gives
Becomes a fountain, within us
Springing up, forever lives.

And God warns by deserting
We become wayward people
As we drink, from broken cisterns
We commit two great evils.
