As The Deer
by Marth Nystrom
As the deer panteth for the water
So my soul longeth after thee
You alone are my hearts 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 hearts 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 thank 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.
This is one of my favourites.
My husband and I absolutely love this song! He sings it to me, or plays it on his guitar if he sees I need cheering up for some reason..
God bless,
Sallie
My husband of 12 years went to Heaven on March 6, 2010. His memorial service
is today and this song “As the Deer” will be sung. “As the Deer” has special meaning for Joseph and me. Thank you for posting this lovely version for me to enjoy. And thank you Marty Nystrom for writing this song.
