A prayer of praise

Be in my heart.
Be the song of my soul.
Be the love I desire and the affection I crave.
Be the joy in my laughter and the love in what I do.
Be the water to my thirsty spirit.
Be the fire that starts up in my lonely times.
Be the hope to my future.
Be the passion in my everyday.

Whom have I in heaven but you? And there is nothing on earth I desire besides you. My flesh and my heart may fail but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever. Psalm 73:25-26

Because your love is better than life, my lips will glorify You.

and take delight in my people;
the sound of weeping and of crying
will be heard in it no more."
