as the infant thirsts for milk
so i thirst for you
as the eagle flies on currents of wind
so my wings need your loving support
as my lungs pull in the breath of air
so you fill me with the breath of life
as my heart is filled with the blood
so your blood gives life to my body
and yet, i seek more
my spirit pangs to be one with you
only you can fill the void that i am
you give me life, love, hope, mercy
you provide all that i ever need
as a child yearns understanding
i yearn for the teaching only you can teach
your face, your heart, your wisdom, your strength
you give them all to me, sweet father
and yet, i seek more
my spirit pangs to be one with you
only you can fill the void that i am
as the infant thirsts for milk
so i thirst for you
