1-3. A white-tailed deer drinksfrom the creek;I want to drink God,deep draughts of God.I’m thirsty for God-alive.I wonder, “Will I ever make it—arrive and drink in God’s presence?”I’m on a diet of tears—tears for breakfast, tears for supper.All day longpeople knock at my door,Pestering,“Where is this God of yours?”
4. These are the things I go over and over,emptying out the pockets of my life.I was always at the head of the worshiping crowd,right out in front,Leading them all,eager to arrive and worship,Shouting praises, singing thanksgiving—celebrating, all of us, God’s feast!
