When You said, Seek My face

(inquire for & require My presence as your vital need)

Our heart says to You, Your face

(Your presence)

Lord, we will seek You, we will inquire after You

Psalms 27:8 | AMP

Listen, to us God, we’re calling at the top of our lungs:

Be good to us! Answer us!” When Your heart whispered,

“Seek God,” our whole being replied, “we’re seeking You!”
