Lyrics
1. O God, you are my God,
Earnestly I seek you,
Ever fainting for you.
O God, you are my God,
In a barren wasteland,
Waterless and tasteless.
O God, I have looked on you;
O God, glory shining through.
O your love is better than life;
O your love is better than life.
I will praise you, I will bless you
As long as I live.
O your love is better than life;
O your love is better than life.
I will praise you, I will bless you
As long as I live.
2. O God, you are my God,
My fullest satisfaction,
My joyful adoration.
O God, you are my God,
My evening meditation,
My song in tribulation.
O God, my soul clings to you;
O God, your hand holds me through.
In your name, I will lift up my hands.
3. O God, you are my God,
The enemy that seeks me,
You’ll crush him underneath me.
O God, you are my God,
Your sword will ever guard me,
Your Word will ever guide me.
O God, as I joy in you,
O God, Satan can’t accuse.
