Love and Life

"O God, Thou art my God; early will I seek Thee: my soul thirsteth for Thee, my flesh longeth for Thee in a dry and thirsty land, where no water is.... because Thy lovingkindness is better than life.... My soul shall be satisfied" (Psalm 63:1,3,5).

What an apt description of a place so sorely cursed:
A dry and thirsty land without a well!
I see what life can offer, and there's nothing for my thirst,
Not in all the land wherein we dwell!

What a blest prescription we find, Lord in Your love,
Your lovingkindness satisfies my soul!
Your love is like a river that flows down from above,
To quench our longing spirits to the full!
