As the deer pants for the water
My soul longs for You
As the body dies without water
My soul dies without You
They may say: Come on, get over it
Drink, be merry, for tomorrow we die
Thats why Id rather sit in the house of mourning
Than at the table with fools.
Blessed are the hungry
You said it, I believe it
Hunger is an escort into the deeper things of You
You satisfy, You satisfy
My soul cries, my soul cries, my soul cries for You
Take me to the place where You satisfy
Take me to the river
Ill do anything, God, there is no price
Take me to the river
They may say:
Come on, get over it everything is okay
They may say:
Why the hunger?
Why the thirsting?
Why the mourning?
But my soul cries, my soul cries
My soul cries, my soul cries, my soul cries for You
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!
Blessed are the hungry, blessed are the thirsty
You said it, I believe it
Hunger is the escort into the deeper things of You
Deep is calling out to deep is calling out to deep
Yesterdays depth is feeling really shallow
Ive gotta go deeper, deeper, deeper still
And all Your waves and all Your billows crash over me
Pulling me deep, deep, deeper
From glory to glory, from strength to strength
From depth to depth, I want to fellowship with You
Youre not so far away
Its not too mysterious
Youre living on the inside of me
Your Spirit on the inside of me
Spring up, O well
Spring up, O well
Within me
