Singular Search

Good Friday

"One thing have I desired of the Lord, that will I seek after... to behold the beauty of the Lord.... When Thou saidst, Seek ye My face, my heart said unto Thee, Thy face, Lord, will I seek" (Psalm 27:4,8).

There is a single, worthy goal
Demanding my decision:
To seek the Savior of my soul,
That He might fill my vision.

I see my Savior on the cross
There dying for my sin.
And though His triumph looked like loss,
He knew that He would win.

What was the prize for which He died
And rose again to claim?
It was my soul, to my surprise,
Redeemed from sin and shame!

Lord, I would therefore seek Your face,
To search more of Your beauty,
And manifest Your matchless grace,
Compelled by love and duty.
