Text
O God, you are my God, eagerly I seek you;
my soul thirsts for you, my flesh faints for you
as in a barren and dry land, where there is no water.
Therefore I have gazed upon you in your holy place,
that I might behold your pow’r and your glory.
For your loving-kindness is better than life itself,
my lips shall give you praise.
So will I bless you as long as I live,
and lift up my hands in your Name.
--Psalm 63:1-4, from Book of Common Prayer
