Tune: Southwell
('Lord Jesus, think on me')
Psalm 63 v.1-5
********
O God, you my God are
You be near, and not far
Early will I seek you, my soul
Thirsts for you, make me whole
My flesh longs for you here
O do to me appear
I long as in dry thirsty land
To see your guiding hand
A land, no water left
Yet I not be bereft
But I long to see your power
And glory every hour
For I have them so seen
In sanctuary have been
And too your loving-kindness be
Better than life to me
So shall my lips praise you
I will bless you anew
Will bless you while I live, and raise
My hands to your name praise
My soul it shall be sure
Satisfied with your store
Abundantly you will provide
Praise to you I not hide

Thanks 2.
is this an early one that's popped up late, or a late one reasonably on time
Thanks N. An early one that's popped up late. I forgot about it while writing 1,000further poems or more. Doh!
God got pretty cheesed off, according to Jeremiah 23 when he found out, didn't he? So I think you are right, don't hide, I think you should do a runner....!!!
Did ya meet old Jeremiah in person, as Goldfinch and I did, being millions of years old ourselves? lol
