My soul yearns for you God

My soul yearns for you O God, there is none other who could ever satisfy my soul like you. My eyes long to see the salvation of this flesh, that tries to keep me bound to the natural order of things. I could try to attain worldly gain, but it only brings more pain. The comfort my soul seeks is found only in you. You bring mercy and kindness by your hand and you lead me beside the still waters.

My heart will meditate upon your ways because they are life to this decaying flesh. Your words brings consolation to my mind, it soothes the beast lurking within me. Only you can bring the peace that passes all understanding. Your presence is the only thing that can assuage the appetite of my soul. Therefore I will kneel before you because you are my King and my Lord. My hands will be lifted in praise to you alone.

My mouth will sing of your goodness, and your praise will forever be upon my lips. You have revealed your mercies again to me each day you allow this man to draw breath. My heart will rejoice because you have preserved my life. It's an honor to serve you each and everyday, therefore I will draw closer to you through your word. Your blessings to me have been many, my heart is so grateful for the grace you have bestowed upon me. O God my trust will be in you alone.

My heart is appreciative that you never turn a deaf ear to my prayers, even when I slip and fall. Many times you have delivered me from the hand of my enemy, and kept him from devouring me. You have brought me through the flames and did not allow me to be consumed. You did not let the flood waters drown me in despair. You rose up to defend me and all my enemies were scattered by your presence. O Lord my God you are so good to this undeserving man.

You washed my garments in the blood of Jesus, making me pure before you. Having justified and made me spotless by his precious blood now enables me to stand your presence. Through your kindness you allow me to approach your throne in my time of need, without your grace where would this man be? You have provided for me all the days of my life.

You sent the rain to water this dry heart, what good things you have worked on my behalf. My soul will sing the song of a gratified man, this praise will be glorious and lifted to you alone. May it be as a sweet savor that fills your nostrils, look upon your servant and be well-pleased father. You are now my high tower and there is safety in the shadow or your wings, you have carved me in the palms of your hands.

You have renewed my spirit and brought life once again to all my flesh. You have healed my broken heart, and caused anxiety to flee from my soul.

You have delivered me from darkness

O Lord you alone are worthy. It was by your hand that this man was delivered out of the kingdom of darkness. You saved my soul from destruction, therefore my heart will forever be grateful for what you have done.

With my mouth I shall declare your goodness to all who will listen. May the praise that is release from these lips of clay be as sweet perfume before you. Most of my life had been spent searching for a love like yours, only to find it was right in front of me all the time. Now my heart will dwell forever in your presence.

From the days of my youth your hand has been upon me guiding my steps. You have been by my side, constantly speaking to my heart, gently calling me to come unto you. You pursued me when my heart was full of hopelessness and despair. You dispelled the darkness that surrounded me when you called me to yourself.

In the times this man willingly turned from you, oh how you must have shed tears of agony over my poor choices. Yet you never stopped reaching out to me even when the desires in my mind consumed me. Even though this man had abandoned you, you never abandoned me. Even at my lowest point you were there to ensure that my heart would find you again.

By your goodness you led me to repentance, and you kept me from total destruction when my enemies were many. You called me and marked me as one of your own before the foundation of the earth. You led me onto the path of restoration, and you kept my heart from becoming hardened.

My soul will forever be grateful. My heart is so very thankful that you grafted me into the olive tree of everlasting life. You have given me drink from the fountain of living waters. Salvation has come to my soul and all eternity will be spent in your presence. You have a purpose for me and it will fulfilled by your mercy and grace. My mouth will spread the word of life that you have given to me.

Blessed is the God of life who has given me the ultimate peace, the kind that surpasses all understanding. You have silenced the storm of turmoil in my life, and you alone have given me the strength to stand in the face of the raging tempest. You stoked the dying embers of my heart into a blazing inferno, and now that fire consumes me, purge all unrighteousness from me.

This lowly man will stand upon your word because it will keep me until the time of your coming. How my heart looks forward to seeing your face. Thank you for sending your holy son to take my place upon that old rugged cross, dying a gruesome death in my place. My rightful destiny before that occurred was to live a life eternally separated from you.

O Lord God you who are merciful saw fit to give this servant a life that was undeserving. When my sin was as black as night you still loved me and cared enough to send your very best.
