Take time to behold Him

1
Take time to behold Him,
  Speak oft with Thy Lord,
Abide in Him always,
  And feed on His Word.
Wait thou in His presence,
  Submissive and meek,
Forgetting in nothing
  His blessing to seek.
2
Take time to behold Him,
  The world rushes on;
Spend much time in secret
  With Jesus alone.
By looking to Jesus
  Like Him thou shalt be;
Thy friends, in thy conduct,
  His likeness shall see.
3
Take time to behold Him,
  Let Him be thy guide;
And run not before Him
  Whatever betide;
In joy or in sorrow
  Still follow thy Lord,
And, looking to Jesus,
  Still trust in His Word.
4
Take time to behold Him,
  Be calm in thy soul,
Each thought and each temper
  Beneath His control.
Thus led by His Spirit
  To fountains of love,
Thou then shalt be fitted
  His mercy to prove.

It is so important for every Christian to realize this…spending time alone with our dear Lord Jesus is how He empties us of all other things, fills us with Himself, and we become an expression of God towards others. Lord, my prayer is that You would remind me to take time out of my busy days to behold You, absorbing all that You are, so You can fill me with Yourself.

Take time to behold Him,

Be calm in thy soul,

Each thought and each temper

Beneath His control.

Thus led by His Spirit

To fountains of love,

Thou then shalt be fitted

His mercy to prove.

To absorb God takes time. May we not be rushed in our time with Him!

Lord, no matter what, we would just follow You and trust in Your Word. Everyday, all we would do is give Your our time to experience and enjoy all that You are. Amen<3

In joy or in sorrow

Still follow thy Lord,

And, looking to Jesus,

Still trust in His Word.

Oh! , dear brothers and sisters, if we just realize that on our everyday THIS WORLD RUSHES ON to take us away from spending adequate time with our precious dear Lord Jesus. The key of been a living member of the Body of Christ is just absorbed and been absorbed by our dear Lord Jesus Christ; by Taking time to behold Him

speak oft with thy Lord.
