O God, Father in heaven and earth,
I call to You like deep calls to deep over water.
Show me Your endless measure of grace.
Let tender mercies shine once again
From Your holy face.
Deep in my soul there’s a craving
To please the One who has saved me.
O God, though I have wandered so far,
You know that I’m still
A man after Your own heart.
I am driven by rivers of pride.
You are my rescue,
The Maker and Keeper of my life.
Lead me by the still waters again.
Use me in spite of the prodigal child
That You know I am.
Just as a deer runs to water
So does my soul to You, Father.
O God, though I have fallen so far,
You know that I’m still
A man after Your own heart.
Just as a deer runs to water
So does my soul to You, Father.
O God, though I have fallen so far,
You know that I’m still
A man after Your own heart.
I’m still a man after Your own heart.
– Billy Luz Sprague and Wayne Kirkpatrick
