As the deer pants for the water brook, my soul is thirsty for you
As every cell in my body needs nutrients to survive, I need your healing power to relieve my blues
As water is essential to sustain life on earth, I need your spirit to flow through my heart
As my heart needs electrical impulses for every beat, this flow cannot ever stop
As I need oxygen from the air to breath, I need your presence so I can live
With every breath taken my chest rises and falls, I need my Savior to be fulfilled
Like when I haven't eaten and my flesh cries out, with pangs within my stomach
My soul is craving for the living God; only He can satisfy this hunger
As the inhabitants of the earth rely on the sun, to keep us feeling warm
I deeply desire internal comfort and security; I need the presence of the Lord
As the oceans, rivers, seas and lakes require drops from heaven to sustain each of them
I need my Savior, for my very survival, my whole existence depends solely on Him
As the eagles rely on the current of the wind, to spread their wings and fly above the storm
With God, despite my trials, I can hold my head up high and still have strength to soar
As the deer pants for the water brook, my soul is thirsty for you
As every cell in my body needs nutrients to survive, I need your healing power to relieve my blues
Oh, how my soul deeply desires, it craves and yearns for Elohim who created me
My soul cries out day and night for Jehovah-Jireh who supply all my needs
My whole inner being longs for El Shaddai, the Almighty Most High God
These shackles on my soul belong to my Master and Lord; His name is Adonai
With every heartbeat I feel the vibration of His finger taps dancing within my heart
With every breath I feel him blowing His Spirit of life into my nostrils so my blood flow won't stop
Oh, how my soul thirsts for my Savior, my Lord, Jesus I long for you
I'll search and knock until you open the door and relieve me from all my blues
My soul, my flesh, every part of me was yearning for the living God
I invited Him in, He was always there waiting, for my heart to become His home

Wow!
If only I would remain in this state of longing for nothing but God who is all I need. ~Dawne
Amen, that is beautiful!
I do need Him!
How cool will it be one day when we can wrap our arms around Him and just breathe? Home at last!
