For you my soul is thirsting, O Lord, my God.

"For you my soul is thirsting, O Lord, my God" is a gentle, meditative setting of Psalm 63, composed by Itua Inetiabor specifically for the 32nd Sunday of Ordinary Time, Year A. The text captures a deep, almost physical yearning for the Lord, comparing the soul's desire for God to a dry, weary land desperate for water.

In the choir loft, this piece offers a moment of quiet reflection between the readings. The refrain is written with a straightforward, memorable melody that the congregation can easily pick up and sing along with. Meanwhile, the verses allow a cantor or unison choir section to carry the narrative, moving from the early dawn search for God to resting in the shadow of His wings at night.

Singing this psalm brings a sense of peace to the liturgy. The four-part harmonies in the refrain provide a warm foundation, supporting the psalmist's words of devotion. It is a wonderful choice for any Sunday where the theme centers on seeking God's presence and finding our ultimate satisfaction in His sanctuary.
