Tha Citiznz Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
My soul is thirsty for you As the deer is thirsty for the water
So does my soul long for thee
My spirit needs refreshing
Father I'm thirsty
Thirsty for you
My soul is thirsty
So does my soul long for thee
My spirit needs refreshing
Father I'm thirsty
Thirsty for you
Let me drink from the fountain
That never shall run dry
The fountain of everlasting life
For if I drink of your water I will never thirst again
Let me draw from your living well
My soul is thirsty
My soul is thirsty for you As the deer is thirsty for the water
So does my soul long for thee
My spirit needs refreshing
Father I'm thirsty Thirsty for you
I am thirsty
oh-o oh-o I need thee oh, I need thee.
Evey hour, I need thee
Oh Bless, me now my Savior
Im thristy, Im thirsty for you
I am thirsty
oh-o oh-o I am... oh-o, oh-o
The song “Thirsty” by the Christian hip-hop band Tha Citiznz, is a powerful devotional song that speaks of the unquenchable thirst of the soul for the Divine. The opening lines, “My soul is thirsty, my soul is thirsty for you” and “As the deer is thirsty for the water, so does my soul long for thee”, create an image of a longing soul that needs to be filled with holy water. The metaphor of the deer being thirsty for water is taken from the Bible’s Psalm 42:1 which says, “As the deer pants for streams of water, so my soul pants for you, my God”. The use of the psalm is a powerful way of reminding Christians of the deep-rootedness of their faith in an ancient tradition and the never-ending thirst for spiritual fulfillment that characterizes their souls.
Throughout the song, the lyrics repeat the phrase “Father, I'm thirsty, Thirsty for you”. The repetition creates a sense of urgency and constant longing for spiritual fulfillment, which is a significant aspect of Christian spirituality. The lyric, “Let me drink from the fountain that never shall run dry, the fountain of everlasting life,” conveys the idea that when one comes to God, one is no longer thirsty because the fountain never runs dry. The promise of drinking from the fountain of everlasting life is one of the critical themes of the song. The song ends with the repetition of “I am thirsty, I need thee” conveying the idea that thirst for the divine is never-ending and always present.
