River of Delights
Now and then someone else just speaks my heart so clearly that I can’t even begin to replicate the words. Beth Moore’s poem captures my heart’s cry right now as I seek to live a life that OVERFLOWS with….well… LIFE! May her words stir your soul, too.
River of Delights
I want to drink from Your river of delights.
I want to dance before Your throne.
I want to chase You to the depths and the heights.
I want to live all my way home.
I want my eyes to be open till they’re closed
and faith gives way to that holy sight.
But while I’ve the dust of Earth between my toes,
I want to live with all Your might.
I want to shout hallelujah while I can,
living life in the abundant and beyond.
Splashing in Your Spirit and lifting up my hands,
I want peace like a river, not a pond.
I want to drink from Your river of delights.
I want to dance before Your throne.
I want to chase You to the depths and the heights.
I want to live all my way home.
-Beth Moore, Further Still
Today’s Splash of Hope:
How priceless is your unfailing love! Both high and low among men
find [a] refuge in the shadow of your wings. They feast on the abundance of your house;
you give them drink from your river of delights. For with you is the fountain of life;
in your light we see light. –Psalm 36:7-9 (New International Version)
