Take time to absorb Him

Take time to receive Him—the blessing’s outpoured

And we may obtain it by reading His Word;

We bask in the splendour of His healing light

And light becomes life

as in Him we delight.

Take time to absorb Him

to gain the supply

That we may be watered and nourished thereby;

The deeper the roots spread

the deeper the flow

And richer and higher within us He’ll grow.

Take time to inhale Him—His Word we may breathe;

By breathing it

God’s very life we receive—

He breathes Himself out so that we may breathe in

The life

the reality

fullness of Him.

Take time to enjoy Him

our portion is He:

Our present

available reality;

Our practical

real

and enjoyable Lord

Is everything to us through His living Word.

Take time to behold Him

gaze oft on His face

Receiving His Person

and grace upon grace.

By His pleasant shining

infused we will be;

Our faces will glow with His light

radiantly.
