This is a beautiful song written by Martin Nystrom. I like playing and singing it right before the sermon in church. Lyrics available via closed captions.
I just discovered you. I plan on getting a keyboard soon, and I want to play at church. At 67 it may take a while, but the hymns you play, are exactly what I want to play to praise our Lord and Savior. Thank you so much!
10 years of education at Sielmat Christian Higher Secondary School and I miss the devotion days where I've learnt all these hymns and worship songs, forever grateful to the song teachers and the times spent learning lots about life and lessons there!
This song is playing a big part in my life. I was listening to this when i was in the hospital at such a young age. And everytime I'm hearing this, the memories that God gave me back then was still fresh and will be forever in my heart. The time He battled for me. And now i want to play it for Him😍
[Verse 1] As the deer panteth for the water So my soul^ longeth after Thee You alone are my hearts desire And I long\ to worship Thee [Refrain] ^You alone are my strength, my shield To You alone may my spirit yield You \ alone are my hearts desire And I long to worship You [Verse 3] You're my friend and You're my brother Even though^ you are a King I love You more than any other So much more\ than anything [Refrain] ^You alone are my strength, my shield To You alone may my spirit yield You \ alone are my hearts desire And I long to worship Thee [Verse 2] I want You more than gold or silver Only You^ can satisfy You alone are the real joy giver And the apple of my eye [Refrain] You alone^ are my strength, my shield To You alone may my spirit yield You alone are my hearts desire And I long to worship You
Chorus 1 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 Thee Verse 1 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 Verse 2 You're my friend And You are my brother Even though You are a King I love You more than any other So much more than anything Verse 3 I want You more than gold Or silver Only You can satisfy You alone are the real joygiver And the apple of my eye
I remember this song when i was hospitalized. This is my mom playing on her phone and with it to make me sleep. It was the time I'm having a hard time. I'm learning piano now and i want to play it first😍❤
I'm not currently in church but as a child we sang this song in church a lot. As an apostolic church we sang all our songs with gusto of it wasn't loud you weren't doing it right. But this song is so gentle and from the heart it deserves to be sung with deap emotion and care. A truly beautiful thought as well as a fantasticly simple melody.
This was the favourite song of an aunt who passed on. I was away and missed her funeral. My sister told me this song was played during the service and listening to it now just brings me to tears.
I want to thank you greatly for this music as my dad passed on April 16 2023 and my family and I used to bring this into the nursing home and sing to him. He used to participate in the singing but even when he couldn't he would watch intently. God bless you! 🙏🏾
God bless you hands♥️ All your piano tracks just suits my voice perfectly & I sing it every time at home. It truly brings peace. Music is another way of being close to God💗
this is outstanding, reminds me when I was a kid when I used to solo sing in church. this song was one of my favourites, praise be to god I am born again. God bless everyone listening to this wonderful song. Hallelujah
As the deer panteth for the water So my soul longeth after Thee You are all that my heart desire And I long to worship You You alone my strength my shield To you alone that my spirit yield You alone that my heart desire And I long to worship You You're my friend And You are my brother Giver and God You are the King I love you more than any other So much more than anything You alone are my strength my shield To You alone be my spirit yield You alone that my heart desire And I Iong to worship Thee... love it thanks
Just found this! Love this so much as this was one of the choruses I sang as a new believer in Christ from a Catholic background. As The Deer Pants For The Waters” bring back so many precious memories and still is so very beautiful! Thank you so much. Even so, come Lord Jesus 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙏🏼♥️
Thank you Kaleb my brother in Christ Jesus.

Thank You for your effort and love to play for us for Gods glory I love watching your hands, your fingers while playing very relax!
One who dislike this is an evil spirit not even him/herself... perfect song dude, I feel great hearing this instrumental, thanks so much. God bless you.
I always play it and I start to pray. It makes me cry. Thank You Lord for making me special and different. I have no word for You that how amazing You are . ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Hello, Kaleb. I am going to sing at the church today and I thank God I found this music here on your channel. May our church be blessed today and I pray that God may continue to bless you too.
Kaleb, this shall always be my favorite. There is just so much love in this song. Such tenderness too. I just play it over and over. God bless you. 🦋 carol
I’m not a Christian but I come back to this song sometimes to dwell in its beauty and reminisce on the simplicity of the past. it reminds me that the same little kid who loved this song regardless of its context whenever he heard it, his heart still beats in my chest.
I sang this song in someone's wedding and it felt so magical to be a part of someone else's life changing event thanks for bringing this back to my memory more power to u! ❤
God Bless you man, you do have a GREAT talent, and its good to know that you are using it for the Glory of God. you are a blessing to us who love to hear Gospel songs in instrumental, Keep it up :) Your Labor is not in vain in the Lord.
I Admire your work. I love Jesus. He is my life. And just so you know. I play your instrumentals whenever i pray alone in my room. Thanks. Godbless you for blessing others with your amazing talent. 👏👏👏👏👏👏
Hello Kaleb. So glad I found your channel. Peace be unto you. Reading Psalm 42 out loud, as prayer, and in prayer as you play this. As I pray and weep, I recall before God my Mum, Eva who would've been 92 today. May Christ rest her soul and all of our loved ones asleep in The Lord. I needed to cry as things have been building in my mind, heart and soul for weeks now. Thank you for using your talent for God's glory and to bless us during these troubled times. Lord, have mercy. May The Holy Trinity Bless and keep you.
Such beauty and peace. I can feel your spirit of peace as you play. Thank you for giving me such peace as you play one of my Most favorite songs. May Father God continue to bless you and guide you.
“O God, thou art my God; early will I seek thee: my soul thirsteth for thee, my flesh longeth for thee in a dry and thirsty land, where no water is; To see thy power and thy glory, so as I have seen thee in the sanctuary. Because thy lovingkindness is better than life, my lips shall praise thee.” Psalms 63:1-3 KJV
With the piano it gives me chills. I even shed tears in the office. God loves me, I know that poor sinner. These shivers can make me feel the love of Christ for me. I love you jesus.
The thing I find most amazing about Him is that He never loses hope for us or tosses us aside. He keeps following us and never gives up till the end, to get us to know Him. Feels good to live and love Him. Be blessed brother :) 💚
This is beautiful. Thank you so much. The song meant a great deal to me in my Christian infancy 30 years ago and your rendition of it was such a blessing to me. Rather apt that on Holy Saturday, someone reminds me of my never-ending need of Jesus. Thank you. Be blessed this Easter.
