“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” (Psalm 63:1). “The fear of the LORD is a fountain of life, to depart from the snares of death” (Proverbs 14:27). “My words shall not pass away… And all the people came early in the morning to Him in the temple, for to hear Him” (Luke 21:33-38).
There
is no fountain in this land
Apart
from Jesus Christ my Savior.
The
snares of death are near at hand,
But
they’re avoided by His favor.
This
desert land is waterless
But
Christ now satisfies my thirst.
He
leads me through this wilderness,
Exposing
snares around me first.
By
Christ my soul is satisfied:
He
is a Fountain ever near,
My
God, my Savior, and my Guide,
Instructing
me with Godly fear.
His
words shall never pass away,
Though
fools dismiss them with their scorning.
His
voice instructs me every day
When
I have heard Him in the morning.
He
draws my heart to hear His voice,
And
thereby satisfies my soul.
I
listen to Him and rejoice
As
from His Word my heart is full!
Like
those who to the temple came
To
hear Him when the day would start,
I
rise up thirsting for the same
Within
the temple of my heart.
Lord,
thank You for Your daily call
To
hear You speaking from Your Word,
To lift my head up when I fall,
To strengthen me by what I've heard.
Lord,
lead me daily to this place,
Within
this wilderness so dry
To
satisfy my thirst with grace
Which stirs my heart to testify.
