Psalm...

"All my life I have looked for you.

Could you let these eyes fail
before they have rested on your form?

Could you forsake me in that way?

Oh, Lord, be kind to your servant --
show yourself to me.

This is my truth, this is my life.

This is what I want more
than the world has to offer."
