As the Deer lyrics

[Verse 1]
As the deer panteth for the water
So my soul longs after You
You alone are my hearts 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 Thee

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’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

[Refrain]
You alone are my strength, my shield
To You alone may my spirit yield
You alone are my hearts desire
And I long to worship You

[Verse 3]
You’re my friend and You’re my brother
Even though you are a King
I love You more than any other
So much more than anything
