While ministering in Malaysia in 1997 I was privileged to share in personal Christian fellowship with worship leader, Don Moen. Every word he sang and every note he played was an expression of his passionate love for Jesus and his deep desire to lead worshippers into God's gracious and awesome presence.
His genuine Christian witness made a great impression on me, as did his musical compositions. Here is one of Don Moen's worship songs that continues to inspire me whenever I recall it.
I just want to be where You are,
Dwelling daily in Your presence;
I don't want to worship from afar,
Draw me near to where You are.
I want to be where You are, dwelling in Your presence,
Feasting at Your table, surrounded by Your glory;
In Your presence that's where I always want to be,
I just want to be, I just want to be with You.
Is that your desire? I can honestly say, "It's my heart's desire!"
Psalm 27:4 (NIV) ~ "One thing I ask of the LORD, this is what I seek: that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to gaze upon the beauty of the LORD and to seek him in his temple."
