As The Deer
The Detty Sisters
Welcome to FishWorship’s Praise Song of the Week, a weekly series celebrating the powerful role of modern praise and worship music in encouraging believers and drawing hearts closer to Jesus Christ. While our Hymn of the Week series highlights the timeless hymns that have carried messages of faith through generations, Praise Song of the Week celebrates the contemporary worship songs that have become meaningful expressions of prayer, devotion, and praise for believers around the world.
Modern praise music has a unique ability to connect biblical truths with the experiences of today’s worshipers. Through heartfelt lyrics, memorable melodies, and passionate performances, these songs remind us that the message of God’s love, grace, and faithfulness continues to inspire every generation.
For our first Praise Song of the Week, we begin with “As the Deer” by The Detty Sisters. Based on the beautiful imagery of Psalm 42:1, this beloved praise song expresses the deep longing of a heart seeking after God. Its simple yet powerful message has encouraged countless believers for many years, reminding us of our need for God’s presence and our desire to draw closer to Him.
The FishWorship founder first encountered “As the Deer” when the song was still fairly new, during one of his first church plants. Even decades later, its message continues to resonate as a beautiful reminder that genuine worship begins with a heart that longs for God.
The Detty Sisters have shared this song with warmth, sincerity, and a clear love for ministry. Amber Detty, along with her family, has helped build a ministry that reflects both musical excellence and a commitment to sharing the hope of Christ. Through their family-centered approach to music and ministry, The Detty Sisters have encouraged many listeners with songs that point people toward faith, worship, and the goodness of God.
Join us each week as we celebrate the praise songs that inspire today’s worshipers and continue to proclaim the hope, grace, and love of Jesus through music.
