A READING FROM PSALM 63

O LOVE, YOU ARE MY BELOVED/

I LONG FOR YOU,/

MY SOUL THIRSTS FOR YOU;/

ALL THAT IS WITHIN ME THIRSTS,/

AS IN A DRY AND BARREN LAND WITH NO WATER./

SO I HAVE CALLED OUT TO YOU IN MY HEART,/

SENSING YOUR POWER AND GLORY./

BECAUSE YOUR STEADFAST LOVE IS LIFE TO ME,/

MY LIPS WILL PRAISE YOU./

I WOULD RADIATE YOUR LOVE/

AS LONG AS I LIVE,/

BECOMING A BLESSINGS TO OTHERS/

IN GRATITUDE TO YOU./
