I come to Thee, dear Lord

So many great hymns in this hymnal - this one touches my deepest longing.

Thy glorious radiant face

My heart delights to see

In such a fellowship
Thou, Lord, art grace to me;
My heart and spirit gladdened, filled,
I enter rest in Thee.

♥️ Lord, I would linger here,
Still seeking after Thee,
Continue in the Word and prayer
Till Thou dost flow thru me! ♥️

These are troubled times and through it all I can walk with Jesus.

Just to behold Thy face,
For this my heart doth cry;
I deeply long to drink of Thee
My thirst to satisfy.

Lord, I would linger here,
Still seeking after Thee,
Continue in the Word and prayer
Till Thou dost flow thru me.
Yes Lord - I linger in your presence

This hymn touches the longing we have to touch Him morning by morning. It's not always "easy" as our mind and thoughts can be like a wild horse. But He knows. He is patient. We have Him as the One who can be touched by our weaknesses. He smiles as we fight to take every thought into captivity and set our mind on the Spirit in our spirit. We are learning to seek, linger, and continue in the word and prayer until He flows in us. We love you Abba Father.

The feeling and sentiment of these words, by Brother Lee, (and the tune by a brother Jackson) are a soothing balm. When I am in a low place, needing restoration and healing with the Lord, I feel I can go on. This is one of my favorite hymns (#812 in "Hymns" by Living Stream Ministry). I haven't sung it for a very long time and just this morning (5/17/24), the words "I come to Thee, dear Lord" occurred to me "out of the blue". I am so thankful for this app, where, if one can recall only a few words, you can retrieve the entire hymn! It doesn't even have to be a first line or chorus.

(PS: why is there no star next to the title to designate it as a "favorite", which can be done with all the other hymns?? )

Jesus the Lord is our wonderful bridegroom and we are his bride. Oh how blessed it is just to spend time with the Lord and to linger with him until he flows through us. Lord Jesus we love you come quickly

What a great prayer as we come to the Lord each day in our morning watch.

My soul is blessed with the song. Besides, the doctrines are fully inspired.

God richly bless

I want you to be a friend so I grow further in Christ. I am currently an Elder in the Church of Pentecost and my passion is to commit myself in evangelism.
