Songbook Vol. 2 Song 42 To forever, a song of purpose: for the sons of Korah. 1As any buck will yearn to find 1Free flowing water, peace of mind 1There is a longing in my soul my God to know 2For you, my God, my heart does thirst 2As you are strong, in glory first 2And yet before you all my heart I've longed to show. 3I've had my fill with bouts of tears 3As day and night they taunt my fears 3And people ask me one and all ``Where is your God?'' 4But then I happen to recall 4How I did lead them one and all 4And to the temple of your praise I gently trod. 5But now my soul I do deplore 5And in my heart I yearn for more 5For I should hope to God he would inspire me still 5Yet shall I praise him in his grace 5Let his salvation raise my face 5To be attentive to his victory of will. 6O God, my soul is in distress 6And in my heart I must confess 6That I can just recount the wondrous things you've done 6For from the Jordan to the peaks 6And by Mount Hermon too God speaks 6As on a mountain I did ponder on each one. 7O God from deep to deep the sound 7Within my thoughts is so profound 7I well the tumult of your waterspouts recall 7As there I turn my fondest ear 7It washes over me, I hear 7They're your majestic waves and breakers one and all. 8Although Jehovah sends his love 8To us in daylight from above 8I need to sing and pray at night to God my arm 9And to my God, my rock, I say 9Why did you let me go this way 9Because it seems that you forgot me, to my harm. 10The sheer oppression of my foes 10Has had them treading on my toes 10And they do undermine my whole support and stay 10So will they vex me with reproach 10And as with sword on bone encroach 10As one and all: ``Where is your God?'', to me they say. 11But now my soul I do deplore 11And in my heart I yearn for more 11For I should hope to God he would inspire me still 11Yet shall he shine upon my face 11And may I praise him in his grace 11He is my God-- and I would hearken to his will. © 2003-2005 Ward Green.
