Thirst And Trust

orchidee



Tune: Capetown

('Gracious Spirit, Holy Ghost')

Psalm 63 v.1-5

********

O God, you true my God are

Early I seek you, not far

Be from me, I thirst and long

For you, you my song

 

My soul and flesh thirst for you

In dry and thirsty land too

Where no water is, but you

Refresh me, so do

 

I long your power to see

As have seen in sanctuary

And your glory, do appear

To me, you I fear

 

Because your loving-kindness

Is better than life, I bless

You with my voice while I live

Praises to you give

 

My soul shall be satisfied

You will still for me provide

Abundance, I shall rejoice

In you, this my choice
