We seek you, O God;
our soul thirsts for you
in a dry and weary land
where there is no water.
Answering our prayer,
you give us Living Water,
but we do not recognize him.
Christ comes to us as servant, not king;
we do not see, or do not want to see,
that he is in the form of God,
holy to our Lord God.
Help us acknowledge the time
of your visitation, Lord Jesus;
satisfy our thirst.

Selected Verses
Ps. 63:1
O God, you are my God, 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.
Zech. 14:20a
On that day there shall be inscribed on the bells of the horses, “Holy to the LORD.”
Phil. 2:5-7a
Let the same mind be in you that was in Christ Jesus, who, though he was in the form of God, did not regard equality with God as something to be exploited, but emptied himself, taking the form of a slave, being born in human likeness.
Luke 19:44
“…[Your enemies] will crush you to the ground, you and your children within you, and they will not leave within you one stone upon another; because you did not recognize the time of your visitation from God.” [Jesus, weeping over Jerusalem]
