New Songs "Hallelujah! Sing a new song to Jehovah; Sing His praise in the congregation of His faithful ones." Psalms 149:1 1 Lord, I am really bothered, That after all these years, I'm still so short in knowing You; With longings, I draw near. I can't say that I don't love You, This is absolutely not true. But in my heart, have You first place? This is Your longing too. Chorus: So, dearest Jesus, precious Lord, Infuse me with Your mind. Towards anything that's less than You, I pray my eyes be blind. 2 Contented in my thoughts to stay, Reside there, my whole day; But when it's time to read or pray, My time has slipped away. You have given vision to me Your church, the great pearl, I see; Yet how I spend my time's misaimed, Weighted by things I've gained. 3 My longing is to You pursue, Yet from the path I veer. Life's situations You'd then use, My wayward heart, draw near. If I'm waiting for Your return, My heart then for You should burn. I'd not then live complacently; I'd be so quick to turn! 4 I trust Your stirring now in me! Speak through Your Word, unfold, And share with me what's on Your heart; Your face, I'd then behold. Lord, You are the most faithful One! Finish now what You've begun, Both within me and in Your church, Glory to You, God's Son! -- J.G., B.B.
