Lyrics:
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
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
You're my friend
And You are my brother
Even though You are the King
And I love You more than any other
Even 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
Oh-oh, 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
Oh, I long to worship You

I've heard various versions of this song throughout my whole life, but this touched me deeply today. I'm in quarantine in Taiwan right now, locked in a hotel room alone for two weeks ... and yet not alone. The phrase "you alone" takes on a whole new meaning when the Lord is all you have - and you realize he is really all you need after all. I found myself sobbing on my knees in gratitude as I listened. Thank you for the blessing God used this song to bring me!

My daughter died three months ago…and worship songs help me through the pain. Your version of this song was beautiful and healing.

[@atsb631]

"Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted." Matthew 5:4. God will help you through this. My thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family Staci.

[@samuelfink4799]

I lost my wife at 46 in 2012 to a brain tumor and I leaned heavily on Gaither music to help me through the pain. I’d be lying if I said I don’t have questions why this life has to be so hard and I know the biblical answer but that doesn’t make everything all better. I’m convinced one day, probably on the other side of eternity it will all make sense.

I'm only 21 years old and have been going through a bad existential crisis lately, where I've been overthinking poisonous questions about life and reality that the enemy has been trying to feed me. While it's not easy and there are times where I feel anxious and fearful, I'm constantly reminding myself that God is with me during this difficult yet temporary season, and that's good enough for me. I pray for anyone else who's going through a similar thing, God bless

People, being created as spiritual beings, dwelling inside physical bodies is the reason why we always long to worship a greater Spiritual being. But others lost their way by worshiping other than God. The fortunate Christians who are found by the Lord worship Him in this correct manner. Blessed are you guys. May you be instruments of The Good Shepherd in searching for the lost, who always panteth for the waters.. and are so thirsty but could not find Him.
