Seeking the Supreme


“Then Jesus turned, and saw them following, and saith unto them, What seek ye?  They said unto Him, Rabbi, (which is to say, being interpreted, Master) where dwellest Thou?  He saith unto them, Come and see” (John 1:38,39). 

What are you seeking?  What is the prize
For which you are living your life to obtain?
Jesus our Savior alone satisfies,
And life without Him is vexatious and vain.

Why are you seeking?  The answer is this:
The Lord put that hunger for Him in your heart.
Beware, lest distraction should cause you to miss
The blessings supreme that our Lord would impart.

Where are you seeking?  There’s only one Place
That quenches the longings of our thirsty soul:
Our Lord is the Fountain abounding with grace
And truth that will justify sinners in full.

O Lord, we give thanks for the great invitation
To come and see all of Your fullness supreme
Abounding in You and Your wondrous salvation,
Which flows from the Rock as a great desert stream!
