Maria, this is for you

I didn't know if you had ever heard this song or not. I am going to leave this version up for a day or two so you can learn how it goes. Actually both versions are up now. It is one of my favorites!

Lyrics to 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 thee

Chorus
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 or silver,
Only You can satisfy.
You alone are the real joy Giver,
And the apple of my eye.
