In the depths of my soul, a thirst does reside,
A longing for truth, where shall I confide?
My spirit grows weary, seeking the divine,
Yearning for solace, in this heart of mine.
Oh, Lord, I am thirsting, my soul in dire need,
For the love and guidance that only You can feed.
In this world of chaos, I seek your sweet embrace,
To find solace and serenity, in your grace.
I wander through deserts of doubt and despair,
Searching for a fount, a haven to repair.
The world’s false allurements, they do not suffice,
For only your presence can quench my soul’s vice.
In prayer and devotion, I seek your holy light,
Humbly kneeling before you, in your sacred sight.
You are the water, that makes my spirit whole,
Your love, like a river, flowing deep within my soul.
Eternal source of wisdom, I draw close to thee,
In your presence, oh Lord, my heart finds jubilee.
For in your boundless grace, my thirst is quelled,
Renewed and strengthened, my spirit compelled.
In the loving arms of Jesus, I find my peace,
His living water, a nourishment that won’t cease.
His word is a fountain, forever overflowing,
Quenching the thirst, in my heart’s deepest knowing.
So, my Lord, here I stand, a vessel for your grace,
Longing to be wrapped in your eternal embrace.
Quench my thirst, O Lord, fill me to the core,
Thirsting for your love, forever and evermore.
