thirsty

Jesus let me thirst for you more
more thirsty than i was
a day ago
a week ago
a month ago
a year ago

let this thirst be a fresh thirst
daily renewed
a thirst that increases
day by day
by day

Jesus, show me what it means to be thirsty
give me this thirst
so that i may run hard after you
as your love captivates my heart
and draws me ever so near
with the powerful force
of your love

my soul yearns, even faints,
for the courts of the Lord;
my heart and my flesh cry out
for the living God.
psalm 84:2
