Thirsting Tale

orchidee



Tune: Pastor Pastorum

('Faithful Shepherd, feed me')

Psalm 63 v.1-5

*******

When in the wilderness

David did still bless

Your  great name, Lord, thirsting

Prayers to you [he] did bring

 

You are my God, early

Will I seek you, see

Longing for you in dry

Land, to me draw nigh

 

Desiring to see sure

Of your glory more

And your power, as I saw

In your house before

 

Your loving-kindness be

Better unto me

Than life, so my lips shall

Praise, and soul be well

 

I lift hands in your name

While I live, the same

Shall I pursue daily

Offer praises free

 

So my soul satisfied

You have not denied

My requests, me revived

Thirst quenched, not deprived

        The pen doth not drieth O.

        • orchidee

          Thanks M. Some poems might turn out different, if I was to use thee and thou, etc. I thanks ye for ya (your) comment! But no one says thee and thou in everyday speaking now - only likely to be in churches that are traditional.

          I always feel such comfort reading your poems, O.

          • orchidee

            Thanks Clara. There won't be comfort if ya hear me sing them, heehee! You will think it's two cats fighting - but then I'm insulting cats. (C'mon Orchi, it can't be that bad. lol).

            Orchi, when I read the title I thought you were going to write about your whiskey, but am glad I was mistaken.

              Thanks Fred lol. Yep, it could have been about my whisky!
