As the Deer

Music and words by Martin Nystrom


As the deer panteth for the water,
So my soul longeth after You.
You alone are my heart's desire,
And I long to worship You.

You alone are my strength and shield;
To You alone may my spirit yield.
You alone are my heart's desire,
And I long to worship You.

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'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.
