You Who has the voice of many waters, deep calls unto deep at the thundering sound of Your songs within me and Your words of life like the torrents of Niagara waterfalls crashing over my soul.

When shall I come and appear before You, my Beautiful God? My tears have been my food day and night. Be that as it may, I look up to You, Yeshua, and am not cast down within.
