As the deer pants for the water......


As I was going through my morning devotion and reading through the Verse of the day,


As the deer pants for the water brooks,
So pants my soul for You, O God - Psalm 42:1 (NKJV)

I remembered a song I loved so much that I sang in church some years back. It was just a nostalgic moment.


As the deer pants for the water


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.


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.


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.


The words of this song are so comforting and uplifting, they create a calm within my soul. God alone is my strength and my shield.


The Lord is my strength and my shield;
My heart trusted in Him, and I am helped;
Therefore my heart greatly rejoices,
And with my song I will praise Him - Psalm 28:7 (NKJV)

I pray you are richly blessed as you go through your day. Remember God is always faithful...
