as deer thirst for cool streams of water.. so our human souls also thirst after something that is far gratifying.. (Psalms 42:1) listening to the words of this song and the voices that rendered them touched me deeply. if you would like to have a copy of this song, see the download link at the bottom of this article
lyrics of the song.
As the deer panteth for the water
So my soul longeth after thee
Thou alone are my heart’s desire
And I long to worship thee
Thou alone are my strength, my shield
To Thee alone may my spirit yield
Thou alone are my heart’s desire
And I long to worship thee
Thou art my friend and you are my brother
Even though Thou are a king
I love Thee more than any other
So much more than anything
War must be, while we defend our lives against a destroyer who would devour all; but I do not love the bright sword for its sharpness, nor the arrow for its swiftness, nor the warrior for his glory. I love only that which they defend.
J.R.R. Tolkien,
