My goal

I was humming this tune, trying to figure out what the words were. Finally after some searching I found it!

My goal is God Himself

  1. My goal is God Himself, not joy, nor peace,
    Nor even blessing, but Himself, my God;
    'Tis His to lead me there—not mine, but His—
    At any cost, dear Lord, by any road.

  2. So faith bounds forward to its goal in God,
    And love can trust her Lord to lead her there;
    Upheld by Him, my soul is following hard
    Till God hath full fulfilled my deepest prayer.

  3. No matter if the way be sometimes dark,
    No matter though the cost be oft-times great,
    He knoweth how I best shall reach the mark,
    The way that leads to Him must needs be strait.

  4. One thing I know, I cannot say Him nay;
    One thing I do, I press towards my Lord;
    My God my glory here, from day to day,
    And in the glory there my great Reward.

We should be those who seek the Lord Himself, not with any intention other than to see and touch Him. Christ is life. He is the gift of life we receive today. In the coming age, He will be life as our reward. In the eternal age, He will be our life supply. May we deepen the sweet flow of life within and hold fast to His Word without. Pressing onand pursuing towards our Lord. Glory to Him!
