SEEKING GOD WITH HEART AND SOUL

God hides Himself from those who are not sincere;

But to the genuine seeker He will be found to draw near.

Even the grave sins of idolatry may be forgiven;

The penitent cry of the sinner will be heard in Heaven.

 

The challenge is to seek God with the whole heart;

The heart must be fully repentant right from the start.

The heart recognises the futility and folly of leaving God;

In shame and in humility the heart seeks after the Lord.

 

The heart’s search for God is matched by the soul;

The deepest longing is for God to make him whole.

There is an emptiness that nothing else can fill;

Only the sweet knowledge of God and His will.

 

What wonderful hope and joy may be found again;

Restoration will inspire the creation of a new refrain.

The heart and soul have been fully forgiven and restored;

The Lord God and His people walk in harmonious accord.
