And saturate me and drench me
Every part of me: Make me new
Let Your Spirit come, and move within me
Fill me once again, ’cause I need You
For you are the God who … me
In your presence your reveal Your light, and your Faithfulness
You lead me, and you have called me back
I’m thirsting for you, I’m thirsting for You
I’m thirsty only for you Lord, I’m thirsting for You
Keeper of my Soul, I am thirsting for you
… of my Heart, I’m thirsting for You
Healer of my Soul, I’m thirsting for you
