Psalm 42:1,8 As the hart panteth after the water brooks, so panteth my soul after thee, O God.
[8] Yet the Lord will command his lovingkindness in the daytime, and in the night his song shall be with me, and my prayer unto the God of my life.
When we personally know the loving kindness of our Lord, we will lift Him up in honor and praise.
As the Deer
_______________
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.
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.
Martin Nystrom, 1984
