I've moved.
Hopefully for the last time

A closer walk

Where is the happiness I knew
When I first met the Lord?
Where is the soul-refreshing view
Of Jesus and His word?
What peaceful hours I once enjoyed!
How sweet their memory still!
But they have left an aching void
The world can never fill.

Chorus:
How I long to walk closer with You,
To be free from this body of death;
To leave what I once knew
And strive with every breath
For a closer walk.

The dearest idol I have known,
Of all I think and do -
Help me to tear it from Your throne,
And worship only You.
Return, O Spirit, never leave -
Please come and never depart!
I hate the sins that made you grieve
And drove You from my heart.

This was the song that resonated in my mind just now when I was speaking to Darryl and the sweet. This song is really an exemplification of what I've felt and thought of when I find that the sin of my earthly self stands as a roadblock between God and I. Such frustration I've not known before, the greatest ever experienced is not that of the world but of my sinful self being an obstacle when I want to glorify God. How I will sing for joy if my earthly self allowed me to!

That the Lord may be glorified in everything I may endeavour to accomplish.
