Deuteronomy 4:29 “…you will seek the LORD your God and you will find Him, if you search after Him with all your heart and with all your soul.”

Conclusion
129 Your Son Jesus is wonderful; therefore my soul longs for Him.
130 The unfolding of who He is gives light; it imparts understanding to the simple.

132 Turn to me and be gracious to me, as is Your way with those who love Him.

134 Redeem me from oppression that I may live in the Law of Christ more.
135 Make Your face shine upon me Your servant, and teach me more about Jesus.
