Lord, fill my soul with longing
For You and You alone,
And fill my heart with loving
Because I am Your own.
Don’t let me be distracted
By great but lesser things;
Oh, keep my faith attracted
To Christ the King of kings.
Just let me know my Savior
And let me ever stand
Righteous in my Redeemer,
Safe sheltered by His hand.
To know His resurrection,
His sufferings and death –
Oh, take my heart’s affection
With praise in every breath.
For though I am not perfect,
I know Christ died for me,
And calls me to the conflict
To taste His victory.
Forgetting what’s behind me,
I reach toward what’s before;
The prize to which He called me –
That’s what I’m striving for.
