[Verse 1]
As the deer pants for the water
My soul longs for You
As the body dies without water
My soul dies without You
[Verse 1]
As the deer pants for the water
My soul longs for You
As the body dies without water
My soul dies without You
[Pre-Chorus]
Take me to the place where You satisfy
Take me to the river
I'll do anything, God, there is no price
Take me to the river
[Chorus]
They may say, "Come on, get over it
Everything is okay"
And they may say
"Why the hunger? Why the thirsting? Why the mourning?"
But my soul cries, my soul cries
They may say, "Why the mourning? Drink be merry
For tomorrow we die, yeah, tomorrow we die"
That's why, I'd rather sit in the house of mourning
Than at the table, table with fools
[Post-Chorus]
My soul cries, my soul cries
My soul cries for You
My soul cries, my soul cries
My soul cries for You
[Bridge 1]
All-my-tears-You-hold-in-a-bottle
You will pour them out, like rain
Weeping endures for the night, for the night
But joy comes in the morning
Joy comes in the morning
[Bridge 2]
Blessed are the hungry
You said it, I believe it
Blessed are the thirsty
You said it, I believe it
Hunger is my gift
Thirst the evidence
That You are drawing me deeper, deeper still
[Pre-Chorus]
Take me to the place where You satisfy
Take me to the river
I'll do anything, God, there is no price
Take me to the river
[Bridge 3]
Deep is calling out to deep is calling out to deep
Deep is calling out to deep is calling out to deep
Deep is calling out to deep is calling out, to deep
[Verse 2]
Yesterday's depth is feeling really shallow
I've gotta go deeper, deeper, deeper still
And all Your waves and all Your billows crash over me
Pulling me deeper still
[Bridge 3]
Deep is calling out to deep is calling out to deep
From glory to glory, from strength to strength
From depth to depth
I've gotta go deeper, deeper still
[Verse 1]
As the body dies without water
My soul dies without You
