You, God, are my God,
earnestly I seek you;
I thirst for you,
my whole being longs for you,
in a dry and parched land
where there is no water.
I have seen you in the sanctuary
and beheld your power and your glory.
Because your love is better than life,
my lips will glorify you.
I will praise you as long as I live,
and in your name I will lift up my hands.
I will be fully satisfied as with the richest of foods;
with singing lips my mouth will praise you.
On my bed I remember you;
I think of you through the watches of the night.
Because you are my help,
I sing in the shadow of your wings.
I cling to you;
your right hand upholds me.
Psalm 63:1-9
O God...I cling to you! You hold me up. You and you alone satisfy my soul. You are enough for me! You are enough! In my pain you speak softly to my heart, and I know that you are enough. In the tears you hold me up, and I know that you are enough. In my joy I raise my hands and worship you, and I declare that you are enough. In the darkness I cling to you to light my way, and I know that you are enough. When I can't sleep at night, I think about your promises, and cling to the truth that you are enough. I cling to the promise that no matter what this world gives me or takes away from me that I can be satisfied because you my God are more than enough! I cling to you O God, and I declare that your love is better than life!
