Pleasure



We were made for His pleasure.
That is our design.
His will: To live together;
Under the Divine.

The fruit He has sown
Will sprout, then grow.
In the fertile hearts
Of they, they come to know.

The truth of our existence
Why are we really here?
To live in His glory!
Come! Give ear!

He Writes His testimony
On the willing heart.
He has the story
We just play our part.

What part? You can question
His Spirit knows.
His connection
Turns on the hose.

Nothing can stop it.
Can't run dry.
There's no end to His glory
This is why....

And when this time is over
When all live in peace.
Laying in the clover
The child and the beast.

What mysteries were hidden
We may never understand.
But to live for His glory
Takes a better man.
