How Do I Live

How do I live, LORD 
Every day
When here, this place 
This mundane world 
Compares not 
To the joy 
Of beholding Your face 

How do I live 
More willingly 
When I’d rather sit 
Never stray from Your feet 
Listen, refill
Listen, learn 
Listen, heal 

How do I live 
To leave behind 
Something outlasting 
The breath of my life 
Something that magnifies 
The delight found only 
In glorious You 

You called me young 
To seek and find 
To know You, LORD 
Show me 
How to live these remaining days
Fulfilling Your purpose 
For Your glory

Let not my choices defer me from
The assignment You’ve given 
Shepherd me always 
Keep me aligned 
Soften my heart 
Sharpen me ears 
Hold me close in Your arms 

~~~

LORD Jesus, all glory, honor, and praise to Your Holy Name. You are the King of Glory. Open all hearts to You. Amen. 

Psalm 24:7 NLT
“Open up, ancient gates!
Open up, ancient doors,
and let the King of glory enter.”
