“As the Deer” [VERSE 1] As the deer pants for the streams, So my soul cries out for You. Tears have been my song by day, And in the night I long for truth. ⸻ [VERSE 2] Where is my Elohiym? they say— But still I pour my soul like wine. I remember singing once with joy, Now I wait in quiet, watching time. ⸻ [CHORUS] Why are you cast down, O my soul? Hope in Yahuah, let praise arise whole. I will yet worship, though waters roar, My Rock, my Deliverer forevermore. ⸻ [VERSE 3] Deep calls to deep at the sound of Your waves, All Your billows crash but still I remain. By day You command Your mercy to flow, By night Your song speaks things I don’t know. ⸻ [FINAL CHORUS] Why are you cast down, O my soul? Hope in Yahuah, let praise arise whole. He is my strength, my dawn, my light— I’ll worship through the endless night.
