Seeking God out

When I sleep in God’s embrace,

or look upon His own dear face,

I know that I can be at peace

and that my worrying can cease.

For when I seek His presence out

it matters not who is about

or what the world is up to next,

as I have found the very best.

In His lap I find new strength

to help me go another length,

my sorrow ends and joy’s restored

as God and I come to accord.

But all of this takes discipline

as I reach to find God deep within

the midst of this chaotic life

with distractions plentiful and rife.

I need to seek a quiet space

to find God in this time and place,

I need to make Him a priority

and seek Him out intentionally.
