Snubnose Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You alone are my heart's desire and i long to worship you.
You alone are my strength, my shield, to you alone may my spirit yield.
You alone are my heart's desire and i long to worship You.
I want you more than gold or silver, only you can satisfy.
You alone are the real joygiver and the apple of my eye.
You're my friend and you're my brother, even though you are the king.
The lyrics of Snubnose's "As the Deer" express a deep yearning for God. The deer is seen as a symbol of thirst and the need for water, just as the soul longs for God. The singer expresses that God alone is their heart's desire, as they long to worship and serve Him. God is also referred to as a source of strength and protection, with the singer yielding their spirit to Him alone.
The second verse emphasizes that the singer's desire for God is greater than any material possessions. Only God can truly satisfy the soul and provide joy. God is not only seen as a king but also as a friend and brother, highlighting the personal relationship the singer has with Him. The singer ends the song by declaring their love for God, which surpasses any other affection they may have.
