Fenny West's song expresses a deep spiritual longing for God, drawing imagery from a deer panting for water and a dry land thirsting. The lyrics reflect a desire to dwell in God's presence and to have an undivided heart focused on Him. The repeated plea for a heart after God's own heart echoes biblical themes from Psalms and the story of David. The song is a prayerful meditation on intimacy with God and wholehearted devotion.
As the dear pants for water,
So my soul longs for You Lord
As the dry land is thirsty for water,
So my soul thirsts for You, Lord.
How I long to be to be in your dwelling place
One thing have I desired; that will I seek after
To be in your temple, to gaze upon your beauty
CH:
Give me O Lord,
an undivided heart
A heart after Your own heart
Give me O Lord,
an undivided heart
A heart after Your own heart
