My Soul Thirsts Lyrics

As the deer pants for streams of water
So my soul pants for you, my God
My soul thirsts for God, for the living God
When can I go and meet with God?

My tears have been my food day and night
While people say to me all day long, "Where is your God?"
These things I remember as I pour out my soul
How I used to go to the house of God among the festive throng

Why, my soul, are you downcast, why so disturbed within me?
Put your hope in God for I will yet praise him
My soul is downcast within me, therefore I'll remember you
My Savior and my God

Deep calls to deep in the roar of your waterfalls
All your waves and breakers have swept over me
By day the Lord directs his love, at night his song is with me
A prayer to the God of my life.

I say to God my Rock, "Why have you forgotten me?
Why must I go about mourning, oppressed by the enemy?"
My bones suffer mortal agony as my foes taunt me
Saying to me all day long, "Where is your God?"

Why, my soul, are you downcast, why so disturbed within me?
Put your hope in God for I will yet praise him
My soul is downcast within me, therefore I'll remember you
My Savior and my God
