Words and music by [[Bob Hartman]]

<center><br>
This thirsting within my soul<br>
Won't cease til I've been made whole<br>
To know you, to walk with you<br>
To please you in all I do<br>
You uphold the righteous and your faithfulness shall endure<br>

(Chorus)<br>
Adonai, Master of the earth and sky<br>
You alone are worthy, Adonai<br>
Adonai, let creation testify<br>
Let your majesty be magnified in me<br>
Adonai, you are an endless mystery<br>

Unchanging consuming fire<br>
Lift me up from mud and mire<br>
Set my feet upon your rock, let me dwell in your righteousness<br>

When the storms surround me, speak the word and they will be still<br>
And this thirst and hunger is a longing only you can fill<br>
</center>
