This uplifting song is exactly what we need to hear in these challenging times, reminding us that only the truth of God can truly satisfy our deepest needs.

‘As The Deer’ is a well-known praise and worship hymn written by Martin J. Nystrom, a graduate of Oral Roberts University in Tulsa, Oklahoma. He has 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 heart’s desire
And I long to worship thee

Martin Nystrom wrote this iconic praise and worship song in 1984, inspired by 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.”

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

Shane & Shane sing this song with deep reverence, reminding us through their heartfelt rendition that Jesus is closer to us than we can imagine.

He will be great, and will be called the Son of the Highest; and the Lord God will give Him the throne of His father David. And He will reign over the house of Jacob forever, and of His kingdom there will be no end.””
