Friday May 18

Psalm 42:1-2  As the deer pants for streams of water, so my soul pants for you, O God.  My soul thirsts for God, for the living God.  When can I go and meet with God?

Today’s verses and the Revelation Song seem to go hand in hand with each other.   This song (link attached) is truly a doorway to enter into the reality described by this verse.  As wonderful as this reality is to visit, the Lord offers the amazing opportunity to live there!  Panting and thirsting for God can become our normal reality. He is with us.  He satisfies.  Yet at the same time, as we respond to His love, He will create a longing for Him within us that is an unspeakable treasure.

These words of the Revelation Song, declare the glory and wonder of our Lord Jesus, the Lord God Almighty.  As we enter into worship with this song I find thirsting for God to come alive within me.  I’ve included the link to hear this sung by Kari Jobe.  The lyrics also appear in the video.  Please take 5 minutes and worship our Lord.

Lyrics to Revelation Song

Worthy is the, Lamb who was slain
Holy, Holy, is He
Sing a new song, to him who sits on
Heaven’s mercy seat

Holy, Holy, Holy
Is the Lord God Almighty
Who was, and is, and is to come
With all creation I sing
Praise to the King of Kings
You are my everything
And I will adore You

Clothed in rainbows, of living color
Flashes of lightning, rolls of thunder
Blessing and honor, strength and glory and power be
to You the only wise King

Filled with wonder, awestruck wonder
At the mention of your name
Jesus your name is power
Breath, and living water
Such a marvelous mystery
Yeah…

Holy, Holy, Holy
Is the Lord God Almighty
Who was, and is, and is to come, yeah
With all creation I sing
Praise to the King of Kings
You are my everything
And I will adore You
