Lord, I thought I was desperate for You yesterday
Yet, I realize that I need You even much more today
My hunger for you waxes stronger as days go by
And I weaken and wilt, except I reach out and gulp
Generous volumes of You into my gasping soul.

Every day is not the same, my longing for You soars
I cling with my all, to this eternal hope of glory
And I wonder, will I ever get enough of You Jesus?
Enough to walk away for a while and be at peace
Enough to take a break and not suffocate?

I have tried and felt my world collapsing all around
Without You, like fish out of water, I can’t survive
You have become the air that sustains my existence.
Not just a name or religion, or someone, somewhere
Doing things I can barely figure out or follow.

Jesus, anchor that keeps me safe and still despite storms
Jesus, rudder that steers my soul through grace to peace
Jesus, earth beneath my feet, heaven beyond my dreams
Jesus, beginning and end of all that is good in life:
Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, I just can’t get enough of You!

In this adventure called life, each morning yields fresh discoveries. Every new day reveals additional reasons for which we must anchor our faith in Him who alone is faithful. Dawn after dawn unfolds His refreshing grace and renewed mercies, which leave sincere hearts gasping and reaching for more of Him who alone satisfies those unfathomable longings. Every once in a while, we feel the need for a break from things and people, yet there remains one Person and one thing which we have been designed to respond to forever without tiring – living for Jesus is one vocation that does not call for vacation. Teach us Lord, to love You more with each passing day, Amen.

Glory!
