My soul is weary, Lord
And just like the deer,
They search for water,
I search to draw near.
The deer pants for water,
And I long for You.
The streams satisfy them,
As You satisfy my soul, too.
Sometimes I wander aimlessly,
And I feel so far away,
But You lead me to Your living water,
You show me the way.
When I'm under attack, Lord
And I'm prey like the deer,
I need Your living water,
As the enemy draws near.
And when I am wounded,
From the world in which I live,
I look for Your living water,
And the healing it gives.
So please continue to lead me, Lord,
I am so tired and weak,
And Your living water,
Is all that I desperately seek.
