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.

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'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.
