The Detty Sisters share the music video for the song As the Deer. The song was written by Martin Nystrom.
The song features their daughter Curly singing in a music video for the first time, and she said she wants to do more of them.
Their mom, Amber Detty, also features in the video and impresses us all with her powerful vocals.
As the Deer is a well-known praise and worship hymn written by Martin J. Nystrom of Seattle. After graduating from Oral Roberts University in Tulsa, Oklahoma, he served as a musical evangelist with Christ for the Nations in Dallas, Texas.
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
Martin Nystrom wrote this famous praise and worship song in 1984. The song is based on Psalm 42:1, “As the deer pants for the water, so my soul longeth after Thee; You alone are my heart’s desire, and I long to worship Thee.” He produced five praise and worship albums for Hosanna! Music.
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
The power of this song, As the Deer, can be seen as it is sung by congregations around the world, and today, as the adorable Detty Sisters sing this song, we are led to praise God along with them.
