LONGING FOR GOD

"O GOD, you are my God;

early will I seek you:

my soul thirsts for you,

my flesh longs for you as in a dry and thirsty land,

where no water is; 

To see your power and your glory,

 as I have seen you in the sanctuary.

Because your lovingkindness is better than life,

my lips shall praise you.

Thus will I bless you while I live:

I will lift up my hands in your name.

My soul shall be satisfied as with marrow and fatness;

and my mouth shall praise you with joyful lips:

When I remember you upon my bed,

and meditate on you in the night watches.

Because you have been my help,

therefore in the shadow of your wings will I rejoice.

My soul follows hard after you:

your right hand up holds me."

(Psalms 63:1-8 AKJV)
