TORN BETWEEN TWO DESIRES

by

Becky Rene

 

Put mouse cursor on Scripture reference to read

Inspired by Philippians 1.21-26

 

I’m so hard-pressed from both directions:

my heart’s desire and true affections

To be with Christ is surely gain

for fruitful labor I would remain

 

There is a yearning in my heart

that I may from this life depart

To be with Christ in heaven above

where I will know eternal love

 

But I know I’m needed here

by those I love and hold so dear

So for their sakes I must remain

and run my course in this domain
