Deliberate Delight

ÝI will keep my eyes on you, I will lift my gaze

I will walk your risky road where you still amaze

On this road I am glory bound

What I have sought here is what I have found

Every little side road where I could go astray

So many damned distractions I have bought along the way.

At times from Satanís snares I have grabbed His bait

But you said youíd renew me Lord if on you I would wait

Patience is no my long suit-Trust is not my strength

But you will keep me anyway and youíll get me home at length

In your Word there is a beacon and your word it is a light

The thing Iím really seeking is deliberate delight

There is no higher joy and there is no greater prize

So Iíll pleasure in your treasure and I wonít avert my eyes!

So through the trials and pain I will see k your gain

Iíll long to be where you are forever to remain

And on this path where I am bound

I will seek you where you may be found

I will draw unto you and you will draw near

Forsaking all, the cost is clear!

In your Word there is a beacon and your word it is a light

The thing Iím really seeking is deliberate delight

There is no higher joy and there is no greater prize

So Iíll pleasure in your treasure and I wonít avert my eyes!
