About this hymn

The need for water in a dry land becomes this work’s central image for seeking God. In a wilderness setting, Psalm 63 expresses longing for the Lord and recalls the help he has given, allowing a heart in need still to draw near to him. Continuing remembrance and petition bring our attention back to this relationship, helping us listen to Scripture afresh amid busyness or spiritual dryness. The hope of meeting face to face directs today’s limited knowledge towards future completeness. As we sing quietly, we can acknowledge our real hunger and thirst and ask for wisdom in rearranging time for prayer, Bible reading and fellowship, giving our seeking a place in daily life.

When to use this hymn

Quiet worship, meditation during spiritual dryness, prayer meetings and retreat gatherings.
