My soul thirsteth for Him
I just can't
I can't get enough of Him
He has planted His love so that I find it hard to let go (Woo)
I just can't let You go, Lord
If I try to reject, there's no use
Cause the spirit says no
No no no no no no no
This love can't be measured

I can't sleep lest I dream of Him
When I rise

When I rise
I always think of Him
His love has a root and abounds me
Way deep down in my soul (Woo)
Never in my life have I felt this way before
No no no no no no no
This love can't be measured
All and all will I treasure

Meaning & Inspiration
My Soul Loves Jesus portrays devotion as a desire that fills thought, rest, and worship. The opening confession joins love for Jesus with thirst for his presence, then describes that attachment as rooted too deeply to be measured or released. Repeated cries of “Oh my soul” give the song the character of an extended worship response. As the later lines name peace, healing, strength, and hope, affection for Christ is connected with dependence on what he provides.\n\nThe language of a thirsty soul closely echoes Psalm 42:2, where the soul thirsts for the living God. Psalm 63:1 offers a similar image of seeking God with a longing soul. The repeated focus on loving Jesus with the soul also accords with Mark 12:30, which commands love for God with the whole being. Through repetition rather than narrative development, the song dwells on adoration until its central confession becomes both praise and prayer.
