As the deer longs for the flowing streams
My God, I covet you
Day and night I lift my voice

To you, love of my life

My tears have been my daily bread

My longing is my drink
Like deep unto the deep I cry
To you love of my life


For you alone are my good
And in the shadows of my heart

I cry to you
I wait for you
I bleed for you


Whom have I but you my Lord
There's nowhere I can run

And besides I desire no one else but you
Love of my life


But as for me it is good
To be near to my God
So I will cry

And I will wait
And I will bleed
