My Soul Thirsts For God, The Living God

As the deer pants for streams of water, so my soul longs after You, O God. My soul thirsts for God, the living God. When shall I come and appear in God’s presence? - Psalm 42:1,2

This verse was a favourite in the 70's sung by the Maranatha Singers.

As The Deer
"As the deer panteth for water so my souls longeth after Thee.
You alone are my hearts desire and I long to worship Thee.

You alone are my strength my shield,
to You alone may my spirit yield.

You're my Friend and
You are my Brother
Even though You are A King.
[and you are my KING]

I love you more than any other
so much more than anything."

Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.
- Matt 11:28

Another favourite of mine was a very short but powerful song - the words of Jesus to His twelve disciples.
"If you want to be great in God's Kingdom learn to be the servant of all.
Learn to be the servant of all."
- Mark 9:35
