As the deer pants for the water
So my soul longs after Thee
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.

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 and repeat last two lines of chorus to end)
