(Please sign and pass the attendance pad.)

As the deer panteth for the water, so my soul longeth after Thee. You alone are my heart’s desire and I
long to worship Thee.

You alone are my strength and shield; to You, alone, may my spirit yield;

You alone are my heart’s desire, and I long to worship You.

You’re my friend and You are my brother, even though You are a King. I love You more than any other,
so much more than anything.

I want You more than gold or silver, only You can satisfy. You alone are the real joy giver, and the apple
of my eye.

You alone are my heart’s desire, and I long to worship You. I long to worship You.
