Your Beloved Needs You Now

I've been reading alot of Psalms lately... and realizing how raw the relationships were that the writers had with God. Then, today I came across a song from some modern writers that seem to be lifted exactly from the pages of the Psalter:

God, my God, I cry out
Your beloved needs You now
God, be near, calm my fear
And take my doubt

Your kindness is what pulls me up
Your love is all that draws me in

I will lift my eyes to the Maker
Of the mountains I can’t climb
I will lift my eyes to the Calmer
Of the oceans raging wild
I will lift my eyes to the Healer
Of the hurt I hold inside
I will lift my eyes, lift my eyes to You
--Bebo Norman & Jason Ingram
