לך אלי
לְךָ אֵלִי תְּשׁוּקָתִי, בְּךָ חֶשְׁקִי וְאַהֲבָתִי
לְךָ לִבִּי וְכִלְיוֹתַי, לְךָ רוּחִי וְנִשְׁמָתִי
לְךָ יָדַי לְךָ רַגְלַי וּמִמְּךָ הִיא תְּכוּנָתִי
לְךָ עַצְמִי לְךָ דָּמִי וְעוֹרִי עִם גְּוִיָּתִי
לְךָ עֵינַי וְרַעְיוֹנַי וְצוּרָתִי וְתַבְנִיתִי
לְךָ רוּחִי לְךָ כּוֹחִי וּמִבְטַחִי וְתִקְוָתִי
לְךָ אֶהֱמֶה וְלֹא אֶדְמֶה עֲדֵי תָּאִיר אֲפֵלָתִי
לְךָ אֶזְעַק בְּךָ אֶדְבַּק עֲדֵי שׁוּבִי לְאַדְמָתִי
לְךָ מַלְכוּת לְךָ גֵּאוּת, לְךָ תֵּאוֹת תְּהִלָּתִי
לְךָ עֶזְרָה בְּעֵת צָרָה, הֱיֵה עֶזְרִי בְּצָרָתִי
וּמָה אֲנִי וּמָה חַיַּי וּמָה כּוֹחִי וְעָצְמָתִי
כְּקַשׁ נִדָּף מְאוֹד נֶהְדָּף וְאֵיךְ תִּזְכֹּר מְשׁוּגָתִי
לְךָ עֵינַי וְרַעְיוֹנַי וְצוּרָתִי וְתַבְנִיתִי
לְךָ רוּחִי לְךָ כּוֹחִי וּמִבְטַחִי וְתִקְוָתִי
לְךָ אֶהֱמֶה וְלֹא אֶדְמֶה עֲדֵי תָּאִיר אֲפֵלָתִי
לְךָ אֶזְעַק בְּךָ אֶדְבַּק עֲדֵי שׁוּבִי לְאַדְמָתִי
לְךָ אֵלִי תְּשׁוּקָתִי
לְךָ אֵלִי תְּשׁוּקָתִי
וְאוֹר גָָּנוּז לְפָנֶיךָ יְהִי סִתְרִי וְסֻכָּתִי
וְתַחַת צֵל כְּנָפֶיךָ תְּנָה נָא אֶת מְחִצָּתִי
לְךָ אֵלִי תְּשׁוּקָתִי

Translation
To Thee, O God
To Thee, O God, is my passion, it is Thou whom I desire and love
To Thee is my heart and my mind, to Thee is my spirit and my soul
To Thee are my hands, to Thee are my feet, and from Thee is my personality
To Thee is my self, to Thee is my blood and my skin along with my body
To Thee are my eyes and my thoughts, and my shape and my form
To Thee is my spirit, to Thee is my strength and my trust and my hope
To Thee I shall yearn and shall not quieten, until Thou shall illuminate my darkness
To Thee I shall cry, to Thee I shall cling, until I return unto my earth
To Thee is the Kingship, to Thee is the superiority, to Thee my praise shall befit
From Thee aid comes at times of need, be my aid at my time of need
And what am I, and what is my life, and what is my strength and my might
As blowing chaff am I driven away, and how shall Thou remember my wrongdoings
To Thee are my eyes and my thoughts, and my shape and my form
To Thee is my spirit, to Thee is my strength and my trust and my hope
To Thee I shall yearn and shall not quieten, until Thou shall illuminate my darkness
To Thee I shall cry, to Thee I shall cling, until I return unto my earth
To Thee, O God, is my passion
To Thee, O God, is my passion
And the light which is hidden before Thee, shall be my protection and my shelter
And 'neath the shade of Thy wings, please give my place unto me
To Thee, O God, is my passion

I relied heavily on the translation made by Abigail Denemark, but I did not like the way she phrased things, so I pretty much rephrased everything. Hope you like it.
