Passion for Praise: 'My Soul Thirsts for You'

Friday, July 6, 1956

O God, you are my God; I earnestly search for you. My soul thirsts for you; my whole body longs for you in this parched and weary land where there is no water. I have seen you in your sanctuary and gazed upon your power and glory.
