Point us directly at You, Lord;

Lead us straight to Your heart.

When we walk down the street,

put Your arm around us

so our enemies can see whose side You’re on.

We’re like a thirsty deer

A deer whose being chased by oppressors

The fears of tragic pain is everywhere

We’re panting for comfort.

We’re parched and lonely

We need Your touch

We need the streams of water if Your presence,

Our soul yearns for You, O God.

Our heart thirsts for You,

You are our God, You are our perfect Father.

We long for You

Our passion is to be in Your presence constantly,

We want to sense being held by You

in every moment of our lives

Psalms 42:1 personalized
