AS THE DEER


                 					                     
As the deer pants for the water    So my soul longs after You
                					                    
You alone are my hearts 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 hearts desire
                         
And I long to worship Thee


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

I want you more than gold and silver Only You can satisfy

You alone are the real joy giver And the apple of my eye


                           BLEST BE THE LORD
                                                   
              Blest be the Lord        (Blest be the Lord)
                                                     
              Blest be the Lord        (Blest be the Lord)
                            
              The God of mercy
                          
              The God who saves.
                                                   
              I shall not fear         (I shall not fear)
                                                    
              The dark of night        (The dark of night)
                          
              Nor the arrows
                           
              That fly by day.

                                        
He will release me from the nets of sinful men
                            
He will protect me from their wicked hands
                                    
Beneath the shadow of His wings I will rejoice
                       
To find a dwelling place secure
I need not shrink before the terrors of the night
Nor stand alone before the light of day
No harm shall come to me, nor arrow strike me down
No evil settle in my soul
Although a thousand men have fallen by my side
I'll not be shaken with the Lord at hand
His faithful love is all the armour that I need
To wage my battle with my foe
