Precious Provision

Ps.63:1-8

O God, You are my God.

Earnestly I seek You;

my soul thirsts for You.

My body yearns for You

in a dry and weary land without water.

2So I have seen You in the sanctuary

and beheld Your power and glory.

3Because Your loving devotion is better than life,

my lips will glorify You.

4So I will bless You as long as I live;

in Your name I will lift my hands.

5My soul is satisfied as with the richest of foods;

with joyful lips my mouth will praise You.

6When I remember You on my bed,

I think of You through the watches of the night.

7For You are my help;

I will sing for joy in the shadow of Your wings.

8My soul clings to You;

Your right hand upholds me.

 Be Thou My Vision

Thy hand of protection

Thy Voice of conviction

Thy rod of correction

I pray

Thy Word for direction

To gird faith’s subjection

And stir glad reflection

Today

Thy name, a strong tower

Thy love to empower

Thy goodness to shower

My plea

Thy grace for salvation

Thy glory, creation

To kindle elation

In Thee

Thy judgement to fear Thee

Thy promise to cheer me

Thy mercy to hear me

Again

Thy wonder to thrill me

Thy peace to instill me

Thy joy to fulfill me

Amen

Ps.139:17-18

How precious also are Your thoughts to me, O God!
How great is the sum of them!
 If I should count them, 

they would be more in number than the sand;
When I awake, I am still with You.
