Linger

I.think.I’ll.just.linger.a.little.while.longer
My.flesh.tries.to.flee.but.my.spirit.pleads.to.stay
Your.presence.is.peaceful,.
Your.love’s.ever.faithful..I’d.ask.for.more.years.
But.to.You.they.appear.just.like.a.day

What.will.it.be.like.when.I.see.You
In.all.of.your.glory.and.power?
Will.I.hear,.“Well.done,.faithful.servant,
You.treasured.your.hours?”

May.I.be.found.in.Your.presence
Paying.no.mind.to.my.needs
Consumed.by.Your.infinite.wonder
Content.at.Your.feet

I.think.I’ll.just.linger

“My.child,.did.you.linger
A.little.while.longer?
Those.good.works.and.deeds
Are.not.what.I.need,.I.only.want.you”.

‘Tis.so.sweet.to.trust.in.Jesus
Just.to.take.Him.at.His.word
Just.to.rest.upon.His.promise
And. to. know,..”Thus.saith. the.Lord”

Jesus,.Jesus,.how.I.trust. Him
How.I’ve.proved.Him.over. and.over
Jesus,.Jesus,.precious.Jesus

O. for. grace.to.trust. Him.more
O. for. grace.to.trust. Him.more
O. for….. grace…….
