My King and my God

My King and my God

Your Name is like perfume, poured out 

Draw me, and i will run after You, 

I will be glad and rejoice in You

I will remember Your love and favor

As i exalt You and rehearse Your virtues

I am drawn closer to You and You to me

You are the One my soul loves ... 

You are my Shepherd -

I find beauty and delight in You, my Lord

Until the day breaks and shadows flee away

I stay on Your mountain, worshipping You

Lord, i adore You

You strengthen me to handle difficult obstacles

To the amazement of those who watch

You are the source of my strength

May the fragrance of the spices of my garden

Catch the wind and refresh You - 

For i delight in You

You are the fairest of ten thousand

Your voice is sweet

And all that You are inspires me to love

Any beauty others see in me 

Is because of You

For You have crowned me with Your glory

You have captured my heart

And i have no desire to be freed 

From Your grasp

Up from the wilderness, I have leaned on You

You have set Your eyes on me 

To give me peace

I look to You for all my needs

You are my All in All

I am eager to keep Your company

You are my dwelling place
