As the deer pants for the water
so my soul longs after you;
you alone are my heart’s desire
and I long to worship you.
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.
2. 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.
3. You’re my Friend and you’re my Brother
even though you are a king:
I love you more than any other,
so much more than anything.
