1 As the deer pants for living water
so my soul thirsts for you, O God.
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.
2 Day by day all your love surrounds me,
and by night you're a song within.
You alone lift my spirit higher,
and my soul finds hope in you.
3 When my soul faints and fears distress me,
I remember your faithfulness.
Hear my prayer, Lord, renew my spirit
as I come to worship you.
