You are the "I AM" in me...

When my soul is thirsty and dry

When the sum total of all my efforts and being

Still leaves an unpainted canvass of longing and little achieving

It is then I can turn to You

And from the depths of Your Spirit within me I cry

To You my Rock and my Salvation

Your Spirit is water to my soul

Your Being is Bread to my hungry heart

Your Blood is the Life Flow that to my weary soul imparts

That “I AM”* in me** is greater and unimaginably more beautiful

Than my being can ever desire

In Your Beautiful Magnificence

My longing heart is satisfied to make an exchange of rest

In the quiet place Your knowing overtakes the distance to my hazy horizons

And Your strong love paints my empty canvass with YHWH ^^

Jehovah Tsidkenu *** knows best
