Lyrics and Longings

Lord, you are my light and my salvation.
You are the stronghold of my life.
Why should I fear when my strength is in you;
my heart will not fail me, O Lord.

I am confident, confident in you
I will see your greatness even while I live.
I will wait for you, confident of this
that my soul can rest in peace.

Lord, one thing I ask, one hope I treasure,
to live in your house all my days.
To sing my praises, make music to you;
to gaze on your beauty O Lord.

Lord, do not reject me or forsake me,
Or turn your lovely face away.
Teach me your way of mercy and grace,
lead me in straight ways, O Lord.
