If only I would….

If only I would behold, as in a glass
Your plan and your purpose coming to pass

If only I would catch a glimpse of Thee
My soul to take captive in bonds to be

If only I would feel the Highest’s embrace
My heart to melt in moments of Grace

If only I would answer this worthy call
An ideal so noble deserves my all

If only I would make my election sure
And walk in this Way of Life so Pure

If only I would receive your Love so deep
Bountiful treasures and joy to reap

If only I would today hear your Voice
And wait on you to make the right choice

If only I would shun this earthy life
The weight of sin, the pain of strife

If only I would burst into Eternity’s realm
By living my life with You at the helm

If only I would choose your way above my own
One day I would sit with You on your Throne.
