AS A DEER THIRSTS FOR WATER
Lord so thirsts my soul
Let me drink from the river
My cup overflow
On the stars when I ponder
With my God I meet
Deep to deep
As a lark yearns for morning
Lord I yearn for You
Let the day be a dawning
With skies majestic blue
On this road where I wander
With my God I meet
Deep to deep
In oceans yet sailed
In forests unknown
I call to my God
And the way I am shown
On the stars when I ponder
With my God I meet
Deep to deep
Deep to deep
Deep to deep
Mark Niedzwiedz
