Stuart Garrard, Aaron Gillespie
“O God, you are my God; earnestly I seek you;
my soul thirsts for you;
my flesh faints for you,
as in a dry and weary land where there is no water.
So I have looked upon you in the sanctuary,
beholding your power and glory.
Because your steadfast love is better than life,
my lips will praise you.
So I will bless you as long as I live;
in your name I will lift up my hands“
– Psalm 63:1-4 (ESV)
In life’s troubles, sorrows, pain
Earnestly I seek Thee
Fill my soul with peace again
Earnestly I seek Thee
None but You and You alone
Take my life make it your own
In my offering build Your home
Earnestly I seek Thee Break
In life’s triumphs, victories,
Earnestly I seek Thee
In the shadow of the almighty,
Earnestly I seek Thee
I sing to You because You are good
And Your love is better than life
I will Live to bring You praise
I will bless You always
Who am I that You would care?
Earnestly I seek Thee
All my days, my nights You are there
Earnestly I seek Thee
This is all God asks of us: that we seek Him. We will sin, we will fall short, we will fail in numerous ways. What does God ultimately want? For us to be constantly seeking Him. So when singing this song, align your heart with Jesus and seek His face. -Matt Greene
