Humbly I bow before you<\/span><\/div>\n
With earnest heart I plead my case<\/span><\/div>\n
Holy God, creator of all things I seek your face\u2026<\/span><\/div>\n
Washed and cleansed by the water of your word\u2026<\/span><\/div>\n
Your light and your touch engulf me and I\u2019m purged\u2026<\/span><\/div>\n
My heart set free to sing and dance<\/span><\/div>\n
It only took a tiny glance…<\/span><\/div>\n
Darkness no longer surrounds me<\/span><\/div>\n
In your presence I am heard\u2026<\/span><\/div>\n
No shadows of doubt<\/span><\/div>\n
No fear of disgrace<\/span><\/div>\n
Looking into your eyes I find serenity and grace\u2026<\/span><\/div>\n
You bid me come closer for a gentle embrace\u2026<\/span><\/div>\n
My soul, sours, in your presence; I find rest\u2026<\/span><\/div>\n
I am totally and completely blessed\u2026<\/span><\/div>\n
I breathe in your essence; and I\u2019m transformed!<\/span><\/div>\n
Lord,<\/span><\/div>\n
Nothing in this world satisfies me, like this moment when I pray\u2026<\/span><\/div>\n
Face to face with you, Yeshua is where I\u2019ll stay\u2026<\/span><\/div>\n
Wrap me in your arms Lord, as I tarry here day after day\u2026<\/span><\/div>\n
And as I rise to go about my tasks<\/span><\/div>\n
This one thing is all I ask\u2026<\/span><\/div>\n
May I never, ever, stray<\/span><\/div>\n
And in your presence abide always\u2026<\/span><\/div>\n
Lifting my head, enthralled in your steady gaze<\/span><\/div>\n
I see your wisdom and your love, face to face!<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

Psalm 63 1-8 English Standard Version (ESV)<\/strong> <\/em><\/div>\n
My Soul Thirsts for You<\/em><\/div>\n
A Psalm of David, when he was in the wilderness of Judah.<\/em><\/div>\n
O God, you are my God; earnestly I seek you; my soul thirsts for you; my flesh faints for you, as in a dry and weary land where there is no water. So I have looked upon you in the sanctuary, beholding your power and glory. Because your steadfast love is better than life, my lips will praise you. So I will bless you as long as I live; in your name I will lift up my hands.<\/em><\/div>\n
My soul will be satisfied as with fat and rich food, and my mouth will praise you with joyful lips, when I remember you upon my bed, and meditate on you in the watches of the night; for you have been my help, and in the shadow of your wings I will sing for joy. My soul clings to you; your right hand upholds me.<\/em><\/div>\n
