The persuit of God – Tozer

O God,
I have tasted Thy goodness,
and it has both satisfied me
and made me thirsty for more.

I am painfully conscious for my need of further grace.
I am ashamed of my lack of desire.

O God, the Triune God, I want to want Thee;
I long to be filled with longing;

I thirst to be made more thirsty still.

Show me Thy glory, I pray Thee, that so I may know thee indeed.

Begin in mercy a new work of love within me.
Say to my soul, ‘rise up my love, my fair one, and come away.’
Then give me grace to rise and
follow Thee up from this misty lowland where I have wandered so long.

In Jesus’ name
Amen
