“O Lord, how I long for Thee to bring me face to face with Thyself! My soul thirsteth for Thee, for the touch of Thy grace, the breathing of Thy Spirit” (ref#27, p38).

Whatever Reason I May Call Upon Him

I cannot find out the deep things of You, GOD,

nor You limit, Almighty.
I cannot explore Your depths,
or ascend to Your heights,

I cannot extend to Your breadths,
or comprehend Your infinite perfection.

No, I cannot explain the mystery of You,

nor diagram my GOD (Job 11:7).

The secret things belong to You, LORD,

but the revealed things are my business
and my children’s forever
that we may follow Your laws (Deut 29:29).

For who has a GOD so near,
as the LORD is to me.
For whatever reason I may call upon Him;

He is always ready to listen (Deut 4:7).

You are great in counsel and mighty in deed;

to my ways Your eyes are open,
rewarding me according to my work,

according to the fruit of my deeds (Jer 32:19).
