Excerpt: The Pursuit of God, The Human Thirst for the Divine, A.W. Tozer

O God, I have tasted Thy goodness, and it has both satisfied me and made me thirsty for more. I am painfully conscious of 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 wondered so long. In Jesus' name. Amen

Redemption Draweth Nigh

Written by: Gordon Jensen

V. 1

Years of time have come and gone

Since I first heard it told

Of how Jesus would come again some day

If back then it seemed so real

Then I just can’t help but feel

How much closer His coming is today

[Chorus]

Signs of the times are everywhere

There’s a brand new feeling in the air

Keep your eyes upon the eastern sky

Lift up your head redemption draweth nigh

V. 2

Wars and strife on every hand

And violence fills the land

Still some people doubt He’ll ever come again

But the Word of God is true

He’ll redeem His chosen few

Don’t lose hope soon Christ Jesus will descend

Repeat chorus, then

Lift up your head redemption draweth nigh
