Psalm 42:1-5
As the deer pants for streams of water,
so my soul pants for you, my God.
My soul thirsts for God, for the living God.
When can I go and meet with God?
My tears have been my food
day and night,
while people say to me all day long,
“Where is your God?”
These things I remember
as I pour out my soul:
how I used to go to the house of God
under the protection of the Mighty One
with shouts of joy and praise
among the festive throng.
Why, my soul, are you downcast?
Why so disturbed within me?
Put your hope in God,
for I will yet praise him,
my Savior and my God.
As the deer panteth for the water
So my soul longeth after You
You alone are my hearts 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 hearts 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
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
