I Shall Seek My God

Oh God, you are my God whom
 I shall seek earnestly.
I humbly seek your face and
 wait patiently…

My soul longs for you..  In a dry land,
 where there’s no water.
As I rest, my body is in pain
 and will soon falter…

I come to your sanctuary to behold
 your glory and power!
And I long for your
 presence this very hour!

Because your loving kindness is better
 than life, I will praise you!
Because of your love and mercy,
 I do exalt you!

I will bless you as long as I live, lifting
 up my hands to your name…
Your message of hope and mercy
 I will daily proclaim!

My soul is satisfied and I offer
 praise with joyful lips!
Your goodness in my life... 
 Most certainly fits!

I remember you in bed and meditate
 on you each night…
And you tell me; 
 “everything will be alright!”

You’re my God and protector
 and best friend indeed!
And have blessed me in meeting 
my every need!

You’ve given joy and health
 and have sought my well being…
Thank you my Lord and God.  
You are my everything!
