Seasons Of Seeking

Tune & Hymn: 'Will your anchor hold?'

Psalm 42 parts

********

As the hart pants after the water brooks

So pants my soul for you, not forsook

Am I by you, O God, my soul does thirst

For God, the living God, put Him first

 

Chorus

Why are you downcast, O my soul,? Why

Disquieted in me? Hope by and by

In God, for I shall yet praised Him, for

He my salvaiton, and He my God sure

 

When shall I come and before God appear?

Asured again of His presence near?

My tears as as my food through day and night

Where is your God? enemies incite - Chorus

 

When I remember these things, then do I

Poiur out my soul, good days have gone by

When I went with many to God's Temple

Rejoiced and praised you ther with them all - Chorus

 

Deep calls unto deep, LORD, see my distress

Though o'erwhelmed by your waves, I confess

That you will command your loving-kindness

Send it to me again, will me bless - Chorus

 

And in the dark times His song, it shall be

With me, and I shall pray constantly

To Him, the God of my life, to Him say

My Rock, forget me not, night nor day - Chorus

      Thanks Gold. Was we OK at Trafalgar in 1805 in our ships?!
