Oxygen,
Air I breathe,
My soul gasps for You.

Unquenchable thirst,
Living water,
My soul drinks of You.

Gurgling stream,
Mourning dove,
My soul listens for You.

Reverent hymns,
Joyful noise,
My soul praises You.

Bitter wine,
Bread of life,
My soul tastes You.

Gentle breeze,
Soft rain,
My soul feels you.

Sweet rose,
Crushed spice,
My soul inhales Your fragrance.

Purple sky,
Smiling child,
My soul sees You.

Hands clasped,
Eyes closed,
My soul speaks to You.

Crown of Thorns,
Anguished cry,
My soul weeps for You.

Heart's desire,
King of Kings,
My soul yearns for You.

Day by day,
Continuing Presence,
My soul draws near to You.
