Verse

As the flower waits upon the rain in Springtime
And the birds depend upon the winds to fly
As the river flows to meet her friend that's called the Ocean Blue
I need you, I need you

(Repeat verse)

Chorus

Lord my soul thirsts
Thirsts after thee
To drink from your well
Continually
Just as the deer pants for the water, water
So my soul longeth after thee

(Repeat verse)

(Repeat chorus twice)

As the deer panteth for the water so my soul
Longeth after thee
You alone are my heart's desire and I long
Longeth after thee

Reprise

My soul thirsts O Lord
My soul thirsts O Lord
My soul thirsts O Lord
Lord I long for you

(Repeat reprise several times in unison then in low to high parts)

As the deer panteth for the water so my soul
Longeth after you
You alone are my heart's desire and I long
Longeth after you
Longeth after you
Longeth after you
Longeth after you
Longeth after you
