EARLY IN THE MORNING WILL I RISE UP AND SEEK YOU,
LORD, I CRY UNTO YOU:
MAKE HAST UNTO ME;
GIVE EAR UNTO MY VOICE,
WHEN I CRY UNTO YOU
LET MY PRAYER BE SET FORTH BEFORE YOU AS INCENSE;
AND THE LIFTING UP OF MY HANDS AS THE EVENING SACRIFICE./I>
.....Psalm 141:1-2
AS THE DEER PANTS AFTER THE WATERBROOKS,
SO MY SOUL LONGS AFTER YOU,
YOU ALONE ARE MY HEARTS DESIRE,
AND I LONG TO BE WITH YOU.
"HOW PLEASANT ARE YOUR TABERNACLES, OH LORD
MY SOUL LONGS, YEA, EVEN FAINTS FOR THE COURTS OF THE LORD OF HOSTS:
MY HEART AND MY FLESH CRY OUT FOR THE LIVING GOD."
.......Psalm 84:1
I WILL AWAKEN THE DAWNING,
I WILL ARISE AND SING.
THE FRUIT OF MY LIPS
IS THE SACRIFICE THAT I BRING.
.......Psalm.......
