(N.B. That's our need to walk with God; He has no such "need.")
"Abide With Me"
Abide with me! fast falls the eventide;
The darkness deepens; Lord, with me abide!
When other helpers fail, and comforts flee,
Help of the helpless, O abide with me.
Swift to its close ebbs out life's little day;
Earth's joys grow dim, its glories pass away;
Change and decay in all around I see:
O Thou who changest not, abide with me!
- Henry Francis Lyte (1793-1847)
"You have made us for yourself, O Lord, and our hearts are restless till they find their rest in you"
-Augustine, Confessions
He has told you, O man, what is good;
and what does the LORD require of you
but to do justice, and to love kindness,
and to walk humbly with your God?
-Micah 6:8 (ESV)
Sometimes it's just that simple and it's simply just what we need.
