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 leaves me
Leaves me time and time again, undone


And in You, oh Lord
Will I always rejoice
You are the One who upholds me
In You I will place my trust
In this dry and weary land
Still, I will worship
And I will lift up my hands


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 leaves me
Leaves me time and time again, undone


Undone
Undone 
Undone by you
I’m in awe of You


Your love leaves me low 
To come and adore
I have to go low
In awe of you
In awe of you


Your love leaves me low, low
To adore
To adore you Lord


Who is like the Lord
Who is like the Lord
Who is like the Lord
Who is like the Lord


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 leaves me
Leaves me time and time again, undone

Meaning & Inspiration

Psalm 63 turns biblical longing into a worship song centered on seeking God in a dry and weary land. Hunger and thirst describe more than physical need; they express a desire for the presence and glory of God. Lifted hands, rejoicing, and trust answer that longing with worship, even before the surrounding dryness changes. The lyric therefore treats worship as a response to who God is, not merely to favorable circumstances.

The repeated confession that none can compare with the Lord broadens the song beyond personal need into adoration. Its language of being upheld closely follows the psalm, while the desire to know the depths of divine love adds a posture of humility and awe. The word undone suggests a worshiper overwhelmed by glory rather than destroyed by it. As the final lines return to seeing God and beholding glory, the song remains anchored in reverence, dependence, and a sustained desire to know the Lord more fully.
