Seek His Strength

"Seek the LORD, and His strength: seek His face evermore" (Psalm 105:4).  "This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased; hear ye Him.  And when the disciples heard it, they fell on their face, and were sore afraid.  And Jesus came and touched them, and said, Arise, and be not afraid.  And when they had lifted up their eyes, they saw no man, save Jesus only" (Matthew 17:5-8). 

We hear the Father plainly say,

As at our Lord's transfiguration,

To "Hear ye Him" as well today

To seek His strength and His salvation. 

We lift our eyes to seek His face

And find assurance in His voice,

As to our hearts He speaks with grace,

And in His presence we rejoice. 

How kind His words are that we hear

To broken hearts, afraid and lonely. 

His tender voice removes all fear

As no one can, "save Jesus only."   

We seek His face forevermore

And praise the name of Jesus Christ,

The Lamb of God whom we adore,

Who for our souls was sacrificed. 

O Lord, as now we lift our eyes

To see no man, save You alone,

How quickly vain distraction flies

As now we worship at Your throne.

O Lord, in view of all You've done

To save our souls at such a cost,

We seek Your strength that we may run

And take Your Gospel to the lost.
