As The Deer / A Shield About Me / A Mighty Fortress Is Our God Lyrics

As the deer panteth for the water
so my soul longeth out to thee
you alone are my heart desire and long to worship thee
you alone are my strength my shield
to you alone may my spirit give
you alone are my heart's desire and I long to worship thee

thou o lord... are a shield about me... you're my glory
you're the lifter of my head(2xc)
alleluyah alleluyah alleluyah
you're the lifter of my head

a mighty fortress is our God
a bulwark never failing
our helper he amids the flood
of mortal ills prevailing
let goods and kindred go
this mortal life also
the body they may kill
God's truth abideth still
his kingdom is forever
