Some may run after power

And others for positions of wealth

Many who desire notoriety

And a few just simply for self.

 

The world may honor some diplomas

And the church may well do the same

But Christ is looking for His “Davids”

Whose pursuit is simply His face.

 

The hearts who will chase wholeheartedly

Through deep oceans even if they may drowned

But desperate they are for His presence

No matter the cost that rains down.

 

Where hidden in Christ is their longing

Where pleasures of the world are denied

For one day in His courts is better

Than a thousand anywhere, anytime.
