This song was constructed from a few old hymns: "As Pants the Hart for Cooling Streams", "In God, My Faithful God", and "O Thou from Whom All Goodness Flows". It is my hope that as we face distresses in this world to remember that He IS the center of all things.
Colossians 1:17.
As pants the heart for cooling streams
When heated in the chase
So longs my soul, O God, for Thee
And Thy refreshing grace
For Thee, my God, the living God
My thirsty soul doth pine
Take hold of my heart and eager will
To make it only Thine
In God, my faithful God
I trust when dark my road
So longs my soul, O God, for Thee
You are good, You are good to me
Why restless, why cast down, my soul?
Hope still; and thou shalt sing
The praise of Him who is thy God
Thy health's eternal spring
When trials obstruct my way
And ills I cannot flee
Oh, let my strength be found in Thee
You are good, You are good to me
O Thou from whom all goodness flows,
I lift my heart to Thee
In all my sorrows, conflicts, woes
Dear Lord, remember me
To Father and Holy Ghost
and Son, all glory be
Who was and is for eternity
So good, so good to me
