 As the deer panteth for the water Lyrics

 (Verse 1)

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

(Chorus)
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

(Verse 2)
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

(Chorus)
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

(Bridge)
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

(Chorus)
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
