ONE THING I HAVE DESIRED

David was made king over Israel;

He was a king without parallel.

God had given him many blessings;

But he found something missing.

 

He knew the basic truths about the Lord;

But he desired to learn more about God.

There were many more things to discover;

The knowledge of God was his treasure.

 

He expressed his desire in a prayer to God; 

He wished to be in the House of the Lord.

He wanted to inquire in His holy temple;

This became a precious Biblical principle.

 

He desired the Lord’s protection;

He knew he faced much opposition.

He would place his whole trust in God;

He determined to walk closely with the Lord.
