my heart is restless in me
my wings are all worn out
i'm walking in the wilderness and i cannot get out...

i need you, oh i need you... blessed savior come
i need you, oh i need you... fill the every longing of my soul!
oh how i need you Lord! i need your perfect Word
with tearful eyes i see the sin that i afford
i need to weep and pray for all the thousand ways that i have failed you just today...

my bed is soaked with sadness
my sadness has no end
a downward spiral of despair that i keep falling in...

i need you, oh i need you... to you my soul shall fly
i need you, oh i need you... Yahweh, how i love you more than life!
oh how i need you Lord, i need your perfect Word
with tearful eyes i see the sin that i afford
i need to weep and pray for all the thousand ways that i have failed you just today...

your silence is like death to me
so won't you hear my desperate plea!
today my soul is soaring
way over mountains high
tho i can see the valleys... they're all just passing by
it's not that i am stronger! look at my feeble wings

but i've been lifted higher... Yaweh's lifted me in His own strength!

oh how i love you Lord! i love your perfect Word
with tearful eys to see the God that always will endure

now i will celebrate for all the thousand ways that you have showed me grace
and made my heart in grace to stay
i need you , oh i need you!
