There are Times

1
There are times in my life
When my heart is embittered.
There are questions unanswered,
Yet, You’re drawing me
  To enter
Into Your blessed sanctuary
And turning my eyes heavenward,
The questions of constant inquiry
Are changed to these words,
2
Whom do I have in heaven
But You, dear Jehovah.
My flesh and my heart
Constantly fail,
  But God’s still
The strength of my heart and my portion;
To Him forever I’ll draw near.
I’ve made Jehovah my sweet refuge.
So now throughout the years
3
Turn my view to see You,
How I need to see Jesus!!
Though I don’t understand
The ways that You take;
  Lord, make me
A babe and suckling always praising.
Enjoying Your worth day by day.
Let each experience constitute me
So Your life I’ll display
In every way.

Whom do I have in heaven

But You, dear Jehovah.

My flesh and my heart

Constantly fail,

But God’s still

The strength of my heart and my portion;

To Him forever I’ll draw near.

I’ve made Jehovah my sweet refuge.

So now throughout the years

Come up to Jehovah Exodus 24:1

God charged Moses to bring the leaders of Israel up to the mountain to stay with Him that He might reveal to them His heart's desire and might show them the design of the tabernacle, which they were to build as God's dwelling place on earth (chs. 25-40).
