Song of the Exile

GC 861 - Marty Haugen

Lyrics

Refrain
As a deer longs for running streams, so my soul longs for you,
and my heart thirsts for the God of my life.
When shall I go to see the face of God?

Verse 1
I remember, and my soul melts within me: I am on my way to your wonderful tent,
to the house of God, singing my songs of joy and thanksgiving.

Verse 2
I am broken, so I call to my Savior; as the waves roar down,
sweeping over my head, and I call to you, be with me now, O God of my life.

Verse 3
In the daytime may the Lord's love be with me;
in the night your song will be still on my lips.
I will sing to you, sing prayers to you, the God of my life.
