Thirsty Times

orchidee



Tune: St Peter

('How sweet the name of Jesus sounds')

Psalm 63 v.1-5

**********

O God, you are my God, early

Will I seek you, so be

I long for you as in land dry

Thirsty, to you draw nigh

 

Land needing water desperately

Living water you be

And my desire to see your power

And your glory each hour

 

Because your loving-kindness be

Better than life to me

My slips shall praise you, I you bless

While I live, this confess

 

I have seen in your sanctuary

Your temple-house, so be

Your goodness, mercy unto me

Shown by your grace freely

 

My soul, it shall be satisfied

Good not to me denied

My mouth shall praise you day and night

Who are the world's true Light

      It's a bit dry in my garden. The wifes slips didn't praise me much.

            May that living water wash us all dear Orchi, lovely!

              Thanks B. I give KP 'living water' - I chuck a bucket of it over her! Iol. There goes my New Year Resolution already: 'Be nice to KP!'

                I'm surprised that, like the Wicked Witch of The West, she didn't melt when you poured the bucket of water over her. lol. Hold onto that resolution as long as you can.

                        Thanks T. I must nip in one of my favourite words 'resplendent' into a hymn again, before too long.
                        I might even include 'y'all', as in 'Y'all praise the Lord there, folks!'
