As the Deer

 Lyrics

As the deer panteth for the water, 

So my soul longeth after Thee. 

You alone are my heart's desire, 

And I long to worship Thee. 

You alone are my strength, my shield. 

To You alone may my spirit yield. 

You alone are my heart's desire, 

And I long to worship Thee. 

You're my friend and You are my brother, 

Even though You are a king. 

I love You more than any other, 

So much more than anything. 

I want You more than gold or silver, 

Only You can satisfy, 

You alone are the real joy-giver, 

And the apple of my eye. 

You alone are my strength,my shield, 

To You alone may my spirit yield. 

You alone are my heart's desire, 

And I long to worship Thee.
