My spirit yearns for you my God…

From the highest mountains I wandered,

To the vastness of the blue waters.

Yet in the darkest night of my soul…

it is You O God that I long for.

Let my heart be refreshed by your light O God,

vibrant as the rays of the sun at day break!

And give me strength

to toil your verdant

fields that give life

to your children.
