"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, inquire in His temple" (Psalm 27:4). Now when Jesus was in Bethany... there came a woman having an alabaster box of very precious ointment, and poured it on His head... But when His disciples saw it, they had indignation, saying, To what purpose is this waste?" (Matthew 26:6-8).
There is a rule that simplifies
The matters of this life.
Its application makes us wise
In times of peace or strife.
Fix your eyes on this one thing:
The beauty of your Lord.
Then make your life an offering
To Jesus Christ outpoured.
Some may think it is a waste
And voice their indignation.
Should you pander to the taste
Of those who spurn salvation?
How much better to inquire
And hear your Lord's reply!
Fix on Him your one desire,
Which He will satisfy.
