This is one of the original songs on this site. Gilberto wrote it in 1996, though I'm not exactly sure of the date. We sang it many times in church and in prison concerts. - Elton
(Introduction)
O God, you are my God,
Earnestly I seek you;
My soul thirsts for you,
My body longs for you.
In a dry and weary land
Where there is no water.
I have seen you in the sanctuary.
And beheld your power and your glory.
Because your love is better than life,
Because your love is better than life,
My lips will glorify you.
I will praise you as long as I live,
And in your name I lift up my hands.
And in your name I lift up my hands.
And in your name I lift up my hands.
O God, you are my God.
