Lyrics
Chorus As the deer longs for running streams, so I long, so I long, so I long for you. Verse 1 A-thirst my soul for you the God who is my life! When shall I see, when shall I see, see the face of God? Verse 2 Echoes meet as deep is calling unto deep, over my head, all your mighty waters, sweeping over me. Verse 3 Continually the foe delights in taunting me: “Where is God, where is your God?” Where, O where, are you? Verse 4 Defend me, God, send forth your light and your truth, they will lead me to your holy mountain, to your dwelling place. Verse 5 Then I shall go unto the altar of my God. Praising you, O my joy and gladness, I shall praise your name.
