As The Deer
by Modern Arrangement
Theology & Meaning
The song draws directly from the biblical metaphor of thirst to describe the soul's need for God. It reinforces that God alone satisfies and that worship is an expression of desire and delight in Him.
Worship Leadership Tips
Keep it simple and singable. Start with acoustic guitar or piano and avoid over-arranging the melody so the congregation can join easily. Consider pairing it with a short prayer of consecration or a reading from Psalm 63.
Arrangement Tips
Simple and devotional with minimal instrumentation. Let the familiar melody carry and the congregation engage.
