Call To Worship
LEADER:
Psalm 63 1 O God, you are my God; earnestly I seek you;
my soul thirsts for you;
my flesh faints for you,
as in a dry and weary land where there is no water.
PEOPLE:
2 So I have looked upon you in the sanctuary,
beholding your power and glory.
3 Because your steadfast love is better than life,
my lips will praise you.
4 So I will bless you as long as I live;
in your name I will lift up my hands.
The Holy Bible: English Standard Version (Wheaton, IL: Crossway Bibles, 2016), Ps 63:1–4.
