Pursuing the Purpose

"The Lord hath sought Him a man after His own heart" (1 Samuel 13:14). "Lord, by Thy favor Thou hast made my mountain to stand strong.... to the end that my glory may sing praise to Thee, and not be silent" (Psalm 30:7,11,12). "God... hath saved us, and called us with an holy calling, not according to our works, but according to His own purpose and grace, which was given us in Christ Jesus before the world began" (2 Timothy 1:8,9).

There is a purpose to pursue,
And this is where to start:
To find it all we have to do
Is follow God's own heart.

It's by His favor we will stand;
Without it we will fail.
By following His purpose planned,
We surely will prevail.

God has saved us with a plan
And calling for His own.
Before the universe began,
Our purpose was foreknown.

Our purpose from the Lord is great,
Which calls us now to yield.
Pursue the heart of God and wait;
It won't be long concealed.
