Lyrics & Stanzas
3 portions
Verse 1
As the deer pants for the water so my soul longs after You. 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.
