Thirsty Soul

Hear my prayer, O Lord,
Give ear to my plea;
Not to be ignored,
So please answer me.

Enter not judgment,
This life before you;
Because this torment,
So hard to construe.

For my foe pursues,
And crushing my life;
Trying to confuse,
With toil and strife.

I sit in darkness,
As my spirit faints;
Struck by the starkness,
Tightening restraints.

My heart is appalled,
By the days of old;
Whenever I crawled,
And had felt so cold.

I must meditate,
All that You have done;
To alleviate,
What I have begun.

The work of Your hands,
Stretching mine to You;
I thirst in these lands,
My soul will pursue.

Do not hide from me,
For my spirit fails;
Give insight to see,
What fate that prevails.

For your steadfast love,
Will avoid the lust;
Let it flow thereof,
For in You I trust.

Because your name sake,
Will preserve my life;
Sheltered from the quake,
Stricken by the strife.
