Lyrics
LET THY BEAUTY BE MY FOOD AND DRINK
music: Ron Zack
lyrics: Phil Morrison
Immerse me in the ocean of your words that I may find
The knowledge of my Lord who is the Glory
His message is for unity and justice is divine
With faith in God there'll be no need to worry
You are my haven and my refuge oh resplendent Lord
Praise be to you whose nearness is my healing
This revelation for mankind is sent down by Your Word
To warm those hearts who seek this special feeling
Oh my Lord let Thy beauty be my food and my drink
Oh my Lord let Thy fragrance breathe on me
Light the lamp in my heart so I'll be a brilliant star
Shining forth to everyone ..my love for Thee
Your everlasting melodies spread love around the earth
The help in peril and the most uplifting
Remove the veils so all can see God's light that's shining forth
You are the One who is the most forgiving
Create in me a heart so pure for You who are the light
Renew a tranquil conscience in my soul
Confirm me in Your cause of God by your transcendent might
And please let closeness to You be my goal
Oh my Lord let Thy beauty be my food and my drink
Oh my Lord let Thy fragrance breathe on me
Light the lamp in my heart so I'll be a brilliant star
Shining forth to everyone ..my love for Thee
