Desire in righteousness
Psalm 24:1
A psalm of David.
1 The Lord owns the earth and all it contains,
the world and all who live in it.
Desire in righteousness
No one knows the hunger that simple truth brings forth
No one can quench the thirst that resides in righteousness
Unless a gift from up yonder beyond creation’s ports
Far beyond the universe where purity provides Holiness
The temporal cannot contain of that what is everlasting
Perfection has no part at all in what is defiled
Unless once again from the inspired horizon
Far beyond the material the Creator smiles
Jan Wienen
