THE BELIEVER SEEKING JESUS
Spurgeon, “Lions Lacking– But the Children Satisfied”
Once a man is saved, he seeks Jesus that he may praise him and put a crown on his head.
His desire is– Oh, that my heart could find you! that all its strings might sing sweet music to you.
Oh that my mouth could find your ear, and that I might bid it open and listen to the whisper of my song.
Oh that I knew where you did dwell, that I might sing by the eaves of your habitation,
and that you might hear me forever- that I might perpetually send the songs
of my gratitude up to your sacred courts!
I seek you that I may break the alabaster box of praise on your dear sacred head.
I seek your that I may put my soul upon the altar, and sacrifice my living self to you.
I seek you, that I may go where cherubim are singing, whom I envy, because they–
“All night long unwearied sing High praises to the Eternal King.”
