AS THE DEER - Marty Nystrom - 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

As The Deer
Marty Nystrom
lyrics

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
(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 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  
Chorus
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
