Lord, grant that from hence I may learn to withdraw thoughts, affections, desires, and expectations entirely from the world, and may fix them upon the heavenly state, where there is fullness of joy; where reigns heavenly, sweet, calm, and delightful love without alloy; where there are continually the dearest expressions of this love; where there is the enjoyment of this love without ever parting; and where those persons, who appear so lovely in this world, will be inexpressibly more lovely, and full of love to us. How sweetly will those, who thus mutually love, join together in singing the praises of God and the Lamb. How full will it fill us with joy, to think that this enjoyment, these sweet exercises, will never cease or come to an end, but will last to all eternity.
Jonathan Edwards

Savor the Word
  by J. Randal Matheny © 2012
 
Savor the Word, delight in its taste,
Grow wise in its ways, want not, nor waste
A jot or tittle, a dot or syllable.
Wash yourself, both feet and head,
In the will of God, and wake from the dead,
Know his favor, don't wobble or waver.
