Chicken Madeira Pasta

Psalm 63:1-4

    [1] O God, you are my God; earnestly I seek you;

        my soul thirsts for you;

    my flesh faints for you,

        as in a dry and weary land where there is no water. 

    [2] So I have looked upon you in the sanctuary,

        beholding your power and glory. 

    [3] Because your steadfast love is better than life,

        my lips will praise you. 

    [4] So I will bless you as long as I live;

        in your name I will lift up my hands.
