My soul hungers for you, my Lord,
I yearn to see your face,
I want to feel your presence, Lord,
'Bounding from your wondrous grace.
My dream is never ending,
As You put Your hand in mine,
And I prostrate myself as I worship You,
For You my soul doth pine.
And I've searched up in the mountains,
Seeking to find You is my choice,
And I await for the clouds hovering oe'r me,
To split apart with Your thunderous voice.
Then I scan the rivers, the lakes and the seas,
Reaching You is still my objective,
Over all waters I continue my quest,
I'm forced on as a spiritual detective.
But the search became lonely and quite uneventful,
My strength vanishing from me,
And I cried out with all of my might,
"Lord, I need you now," was my plea.
And suddenly I found out at last,
I didn't have to search world-wide,
For my body is the temple, in which,
You live within me deep inside.
