[Verse 1] As the deer pants, so my hart — worn thin along the ridge Tears have been my bread and water underneath a burning bridge I have hewn a hundred cisterns in the dust where nothing grows Every one of them was broken Now the only thing I know — [Chorus] Dear brothers, come and drink Dear sisters, come and see We were never meant to wander We were made to run to Thee Deep is calling out to deep in the roaring of the flood Oh my soul, why so downcast? Hope in God, hope in God [Verse 2] I was chased into the wild now I'm chaste beneath the pine The herd has heard the water and the sound of it is mine Give me hinds' feet on the high place where the fearful cannot climb Let my soles be steady, Jesus let my soul be wholly Thine [Bridge] Fawn upon Him, all you fawns Buck the current, don't turn back Spring is where the springs are running Leave the safety, leave the track Every trail became a trial till I drank and understood — He came leaping down the mountain He was thirsty for me first Dear brothers... dear sisters... Deer — run home.
