Psalm 63 O God, You Are My God

1.  O God, You are my God;
    I seek You eagerly;
    My soul and body thirst for You
    In barren lands and dry.

2.  Therefore I gazed on You
    Within Your holy place,
    That I might look upon Your power,
    The glory of Your face.

3.  Your love is more than life;
    My lips shall give You praise;
    I lift my hands up in Your name
    And bless You all my days.

4.  My soul is well content,
    My mouth shall give You praise
    When I remember You at night
    And ponder all Your ways.

5.  Your wings have sheltered me,
    My helper in the past;
    My soul, Lord, clings to You alone,
    Your right hand holds me fast.
