“Seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God. Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth… Your life is hid with Christ in God. When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with Him in glory” (Colossians 3:1-4).
We
seek those things which are above
Where
Christ is seated on His throne,
Considering
our Savior’s love
Which
on the cross was clearly shown.
By
things on earth be not enticed;
We
dare not set affections there!
Behold
our Savior Jesus Christ;
No
other can with Him compare!
Our
life is hid with Christ in God,
And
soon with Him we shall appear!
Regard
not, then, what men applaud:
The
coming of our Lord draws near!
Lord,
keep us from the vain distraction
Of
earthly things that cloud our view,
And
draw us to the main attraction,
Above
all others, found in You.
Lord,
send us forth to now persuade
The
souls that You so deeply cherish,
The
sheep which yet from You have strayed
Which
You would draw before they perish.
Lord,
give to us a clear direction
As
Your return, O Lord is nearing,
And
thereby set our heart’s affection
On
things above and Your appearing.
