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 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.

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.
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.
