Longing

 Claiming God's Word as my prayer at bedtime

O God, you are my God,
earnestly I seek you;
my soul thirsts for you,
my body longs for you,
in a dry and weary 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.
My soul will be satisfied as with the richest of foods;
with singing lips my mouth will praise you.
Psalm 63:1-5

Parched
Thirsty
Longing

Up before dawn with a song in my heart
My prayer for the day
"Draw Me Close"

[Chorus:]
You're all I want, You're all I've ever needed
You're all I want,
Help me know you are near

Driving down the highway
Car lights penetrating the darkness
Switching off the radio
Desiring solitude

Looking up
the beautiful quarter moon shining
Then there it was
just to the left of the moon

The bright morning star
 Shining brightly

"I, Jesus, have sent my angel to give you this testimony for the churches. I am the Root and the Offspring of David, and the bright Morning Star ."

Rev. 22:16

The bright Morning star
bore testimony to my heart
confirmed for me
that He was near.
 

Thankful to God
who fills my longing
quenches my thirst
meets my need.
