Sung by Br Brother John of the Cross, CSJ
This song is a blending of Psalms 63 and 42, which both speak to our desire for God. We all have deep desires that nothing on this earth can satisfy. Jesus, help us to look to You alone for our fulfillment. (Lyrics based on the Liturgy of the Hours Psalms translation) Like a dry and weary land For You my soul is thirsting Like a land without water My body pines for You O God, You are my God, for You I long (3x) Like the deer for running streams For You my soul is yearning For the God of my life My soul is thirsting, my God O God, You are my God, for You I long (3x) My body pines for you (2x) On my bed I remember You On You I muse through the night In the shadow of Your wings Your right hand holds me fast. O God, You are my God, for You I long (5x) My body pines for You (4x)
