1. 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.

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 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.

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 you.

3. 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.

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 you.
