Lyrics
God You’re my God
And earnestly I seek You
My heart and my flesh
They hunger and thirst for You
In this dry and weary land
I’ve come to worship
I’ve come to lift up my hands
For I have seen You
I’ve beheld Your glory
And I am ruined
For there is none to compare
And I long to know You
And the depths of Your love
That always leave me
Time and time again, undone
In You oh Lord
Will I always rejoice
You are the One who upholds me
In You I will place my trust

Meaning & Inspiration
Psalm 63 turns the language of longing for God into a direct prayer of worship. The opening declaration identifies God as the singer’s God, followed by an earnest search marked by hunger and thirst. A dry and weary land becomes the setting for lifted hands, trust, and adoration. The song does not present worship as dependent on ease; instead, desire for God persists in spiritual barrenness and finds joy in his sustaining presence.
The lyric closely follows Psalm 63:1-8, including seeking God, thirsting for him, beholding his glory, rejoicing, and being upheld by his hand. Its language also reflects Psalm 143:6, where outstretched hands accompany a soul’s thirst for God. The confession that none can compare underscores God’s unique worth, while the desire to know the depths of divine love moves the song from observation toward communion. Its repeated first-person declarations form a focused prayer about seeking, worshiping, rejoicing, and trusting in the Lord.
