What I Need Today

O Lord, My God, Most Earnestly
Psalm 63

O Lord, my God, most earnestly I seek Your holy face,
Within Your house again to see the glories of your grace.
Apart from You I long and thirst and naught can satisfy;
I wander in a desert land where all the streams are dry.

The lovingkindness of my God is more than life to me,
So I will praise You all my days and pray continually.
In You my soul is satisfied, my darkness turns to light,
And joyful meditations fill the watches of the night.

Beneath the shadow of Your wings I sing my joy and praise.
Your right hand is my strong support through troubled nights and days.
All those who seek my life will fall; my life is in Your hand.
God’s king and people will rejoice; in vict’ry they will stand.
