I Seek Your Face
God, I seek Your face.
Not just Your hand,to know the gifts You give,
Not just Your will,to know the way to live,
ButYou—the source, the wellspring, and the end.
My soul’s one true desire,my everlasting Friend.
My heart says of you, “Seek his face!” Your face, Lord, I will seek. (Psalm 27:8)
I turn from every distraction, every counterfeit of light,
From the noisy claims of daytime and the whispers of the night.
I still my soul and listen;I lift my eyes above.
I seek the radiant glory of Your everlasting love.
This is not a fleeting glance, a hurried, passing prayer,
But a staying,deep abiding, a releasing of all care.
To seek Your face is to be changed,unveiled before Your gaze,
Transformed from fading glory into everlasting praise.
Come near to God and he will come near to you. (James 4:8)
Let me find You, God, in the quiet of this hour.
Let me know Your presence,Your nearness, and Your power.
Let my seeking be my finding,my prayer be my home.
Let my restless heart find rest in You,and You alone.
I seek Your face, Lord.
The face of my Savior, Jesus Christ.
The brightness of Your glory, the expression of Your grace.
In seeking, I am found.
In looking, I see love.
Amen.
To seek God's face means to earnestly pursue His manifest presence, His character, and His intimate companionship—to know Him, not just about Him. Scripture promises that "You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart" (Jeremiah 29:13). This holy pursuit is answered through prayer, worship, and attentiveness to His Spirit and His Word.
