I long to worship You...Day 30



As the deer pants for streams of water,
   so my soul pants for you, my God. -Psalm 42:1


Today I was listening to a beautiful worship song, As the Deer Panteth for the Water...and as I listened and thought about the words, I had admit that I am not there yet. If my heart were fully yielding as the song lyrics describe, my life would look very different. I was moved to tears as I realized that I have glimpses of what the song lyrics describe but I do not live in a sustained heart posture of worship throughout the day.  I think there are many times when I am like the deer thirsting for water, but I don't recognize it...and I go about my life feeling fearful and unsatisfied. My prayer is to live this song authentically and with a heart surrendered to my Heavenly Father.

As the Deer Panteth for the Water

As the deer panteth for the water
So my soul longs after you
You alone are my hearts desire And I long to worship You.

Chorus: 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.

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.

Chorus: 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.

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.

Chorus: 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.
