Misty Edwards - My Soul Cries lyrics

As the deer pants for the water, my soul longs for You As the body dies without water, my soul dies without You Take me to the place where You satisfy, take me to the river I'll 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 They may say, "Why the mourning? Drink be merry, for tomorrow we die Tomorrow we die" That's why I'd rather sit in the house of mourning Than at the table with fools 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 — You said it, I believe it Blessed are the thirsty — You said it, I believe it Hunger is my gift, thirst the evidence That You are drawing me deeper, deeper still Take me to the place where You satisfy, take me to the river I'll do anything, God; there is no price, take me to the river Deep is calling out to deep is calling out to deep Yesterday's depth is feeling really shallow I've gotta go deeper, deeper, deeper still And all Your waves and all Your billows crash over me Pulling me deeper still Deep is calling out to deep is calling out to deep From glory to glory, from strength to strength From depth to depth, I've gotta go deeper, deeper still As the deer pants for the water, my soul longs for You As the body dies without water, my soul dies without You
