"As the Deer" is a well-known praise and worship song by Martin J. Nystrom, a native of Seattle, Washington. Written in 1981, this song is based on Psalm 42:1;

"As the hart panteth after the water brooks, so panteth my soul after thee, O God."

As the Deer

As the deer panteth for the water
So my soul longeth after Thee
You alone are my heart's desire
And I long to worship You.

Refrain:
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

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 are my brother
Even though You are a king.
I love You more than any other,
So much more than anything.
