Evening, and morning, and at noon, will I pray, and cry aloud: and he shall hear my voice (Psalm 55:17; KJV).
1. I seek you when I wake, Lord,
At midday,
And after noon:
Please hear my sighs,
Draw near to me,
And bring me comfort, soon.
2. I search for you each evening, Lord,
And long for you
Each night:
Please see my tears,
And come to me,
So I may glimpse your light.
3. I thirst for you unceasingly,
And crave
Your warm embrace:
Please heed my cries,
And take me home –
Then I will see your face.
“You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart. I will be found by you,” declares the Lord (Jeremiah 29:13-14; NIV).
