^{————————— Verse 1: ———————————————————————————————————————————————————}

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

^{————————— Verse 2: ———————————————————————————————————————————————————}

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

^{————————— Verse 3: ———————————————————————————————————————————————————}

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
