My soul is thirsting, my soul is thirsting, my soul is thirsting for you, O Lord, my God.
O God, you are my God whom I seek; O God, you are my God whom I seek;
For you my flesh pines, my soul thirsts like the earth, parched, lifeless, without water. (Refrain)
Thus have I gazed toward you in your holy place to see your power and your glory.
Your kindness is a greater good than life itself; my lips will glorify you. (Refrain)
Thus I will bless you while I live; lifting up my hands I will call upon your name.
As with a banquet shall my soul be satisfied; with exultant lips my mouth shall praise you. (Refrain)
For you have been my help, you have been my help; in the shadow of your wings I shout for joy.
My soul clings fast to you; your right hand holds me firm; in the shadow of your wings I sing for joy. (Refrain)
