Your love is better

Oh God you are my God

And so earnestly I will seek

My soul thirsts for you

My flesh longs for you though it is weak

For there is no water in this dry and weary land

I thirstÝ but In your name I will lift up my hands

Because your love is better than life

in the desert You will bring streams

You will overflow me when I wake

And overflow my dreams

By the richest food my soul will be satisfied

With singing lips my mouth will praise

On my bed I will remember you all through the night

And live for you all of my days.

In the shadow of your wings

Your right hand upholds me As I singÝ

To you my soul ever clings

Your love is better than life and all that it brings.
