As the deer panteth for the water
So my soul longth after Thee
You alone are my heart's desire
And I long to worship Thee
Chorus:
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
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
Repeat Chorus.
(Japanese)
谷川の流れを慕う 鹿のように
主よ、我が魂 あなたを慕う
あなたこそ我が盾 あなたこそ我が力
あなたこそ我が望み 我は主を仰ぐ
(Japanese, Roman character)
Tani-gawa no nagare wo shitau, shika no yoni,
Shu yo, wata tamashii, anata wo shitau.
Anata koso waga tate, Anata koso waga chikara,
Anata koso waga nozomi, ware wa Shu wo aogu.
