Over the last several months, I’ve had glimmers of the memory of an old song I’d once heard and loved. I looked it up again a few weeks ago, and it has fast become one of my life anthems – a life purpose statement, if you will. I’d like to share it with you here.

Give me one pure and holy passion.
Give me one magnificent obsession.
Give me one glorious ambition for my life:
To know and follow hard after You.

To know and follow hard after You,
To grow as Your disciple in the truth.
This world is empty, pale, and poor
Compared to knowing You, my Lord.
Lead me on, and I will run after You.
Lead me on, and I will run after You.
(written by Mark Altrogge)
