My earnest heart's desire

My earnest heart's desire
is to ponder only him;
to pant, thirst and hunger,
for the only King.

Jesus is this one
who my body longs for,
whose glory I will gaze at
for all eternities draw.

By faith I see him only
in my present body state.
A glimpse of his glory,
is all I am able to take.

But I know this not
will always be the case.
For the promise of Heaven,
is that I'll see his face.

My body transformed
from a corrupted being.
It will be glorious
to look upon the one true King.

No longer groaning,
will my body be.
But seeing, savouring, delighting
in only He.
