O God, you are my God and I Do seek you now In earnest, Lord My soul thirsts for you My flesh is fainting for you This desert stretches on and on and My soul would crumble, but... I have looked upon you in the sanctuary Beholding your beauty and power Because your steadfast love is better than life Oh, my lips will praise you I bless you, Lord, I bless you, Lord As long as I live In your name I will lift up my hands The world is tempting, but... I will remember you upon my bed And meditate on you in the night watches For you have been my help, and I will sing... ...for joy...
