Earnestly We Seek Thee

Sinners, orphans, the world we sought,
Its pleasures and its approval.
From utter bondage our souls He bought,
By grace our sins acquitted.

Perfect love from Christ received,
New life in You is giv’n.
Your salvation in us conceived,
Our anchor fast in heav’n.

Earnestly we seek Thee.
Earnestly, we lift our hands.
With contrite hearts our offerings bring,
Our actions speak, our voices sing.

Our hearts, our souls have careless been
Trading heaven’s joy for pleasures fleeting.
May we recall all that we’ve seen;
That sin and death are beaten.

Kindle a fire within our souls---
A consuming flame ever enduring.
May thy Holy presence be our goal
That we may worship never ending.

Earnestly we seek Thee.
Earnestly, we lift our hands.
With contrite hearts our offerings bring,
Our actions speak, our voices sing.

Longing always, may we seek
Thy Spirit’s leading all our days;
A simple word for us to speak
An act of love to bring you praise.

Our sword and shield shall ever be
Our Lord, Our God in life and death
Who rules and reigns eternally
He supplies our life and breath.

Earnestly we seek Thee.
Earnestly, we lift our hands.
With contrite hearts our offerings bring,
Our actions speak, our voices sing.
