VERSE 1
O God, You are my God.
I seek You earnestly.
I thirst and hunger after You
with every part of me.VERSE 2
So I have looked on You
within Your sacred space.
I see Your glory and Your might,
behold You in this place.CHORUS
Because Your love is better than life,
my lips will sing Your praise.
So I will bless You all my days
and lift my hands in Your name.VERSE 3
My soul will find its fill,
my mouth will gladly praise
when I remember You at night
and think upon Your ways.VERSE 4
For You have been my help,
and in Your shade I sing.
My desp'rate soul clings on to You,
secure beneath Your wing.VERSE 5
But those who seek my harm
shall go down to the depths;
they shall be given to the sword
when justice brings their end.VERSE 6
The king shall joy in God,
and all who swear by Him
shall glory in the righteous Judge,
for He will end all sin. -
