lyrics

I have taken cover underneath the shelter
Of my own human strength
And I’ve gone to other lovers seeking their protection
I have tirelessly sought them
Now you have brought me to the wilderness
Hemmed me in behind and before
Here I am now broken-hearted empty handed
I wait upon the presence of the Lord

And I run run run like a deer to you
There is no other love that satisfies
I am thirsting for the living water
Only you Lord can provide

I have wandered from the wellspring
Worked all day for nothing, I have chased after wind
And I’ve drunk from foreign rivers
Dug a broken cistern that cannot hold the rain
Day and night I felt your heavy hand
Draining out my will to resist
You forgive me and remove all my rebellion
As far away as east is from the west

So I run run run like a deer to you
There is no other love that satsifies
I am thirsting for the living water
Only you Lord can provide

I will run to you as You run to me Lord
I will run to you as You run to me

I run run run like a deer to you
There is no other love that satisfies
I am thirsting for the living water
Only you Lord can provide

Now you have brought me to the wilderness
Hemmed me in behind and before
And I will worship in the glory of Your presence
Blessed are those who wait upon the Lord
Blessed are those who wait upon the Lord
Blessed are those who wait upon the Lord
