Martin Nystrom As the Deer Pants for the Water Lyrics
CHORUS 1
Thou alone are my strength my shield
To thee alone may my spirit yield
Thou alone are my heart’s desire
And I long to worship Thee
VERSE 1
As the deer panteth for the water
So my soul longeth after Thee
Thou alone are my heart’s desire
And I long to worship Thee
VERSE 2
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
VERSE 3
I want You more than gold
Or silver
Only You can satisfy
You alone are the real joygiver
And the apple of my eye
