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 you


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 you


You're my friend and you are my brother

Even though you are a king of kings

And I love you more than any other

So much more than anything


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 you
