Longing for God

As the deer pants for flowing streams,
So does my soul pants for the Lord;
For all of my wrongs He redeems,
My confessions are not ignored.

My soul thirsts for the living God,
When shall He come as to appear;
At that time to honor and laud,
To pay homage as I revere.

My tears have been food day and night,
While they say “Where is your God?”
I’m guided by faith not by sight,
That’s keeping me from getting flawed.

When I remember of these things,
And am pouring out my soul;
For I went with the throng that brings,
That is taking me to my goal.

A goal to lead in procession,
To the house of God with glad shouts;
No longer having oppression,
With songs of praise that cancel doubts.

O my soul why are you downcast?
Why are you in tumult in me?
Hope in God shall forever last,
For my salvation I will see.
