O how my heart yearns for Thee
O how my heart yearns for Thee
More than the watchman
Waits for the morning
Lord I am yearning for Thee
O how my heart yearns for Thee
O how my heart yearns for Thee
Just like a river runs to the sea
Lord I am running to Thee
Deep calling to deep
Spirit to spirit
As a deer panting for water
Lord I am thirsting for You
O how my heart yearns for Thee
More than the watchman
Waits for the morning
Just like a river runs to the sea
And as the deer
That is panting for water
My heart is yearning for Thee
Lord I am yearning for Thee
