Tekst
J. Brian Craig, 1999
O I need your love
In this shadowed place
I can't get enough
Of your sunlight on my face.
When it's cold and dark
Or I'm far from home
You are in my heart
And I never walk alone.
And just like a tree
Planted by a stream,
Thirsty for a drink
Of your love,
I can't face a day
Without some time to pray
I sing this song to say
I need your love.
I'm a tiny child
But when I'm with you
I will not grow tired
'Cause there's nothing you can't do.
Your love makes me strong
Though I'm small and weak,
And the whole day long
You'll speak through me when I speak.
And just like a tree
Planted by a stream,
Thirsty for a drink
Of your love,
I can't face a day
Without some time to pray
I sing this song to say
I need your love.
You gave all for me
Though I cursed your name
On that bitter tree,
Lord, You suffered for my shame.
How can I thank you?
Your love paid my way.
All that I can do
Is live for You every day.
And just like a tree
Planted by a stream,
Thirsty for a drink
Of your love,
I can't face a day
Without some time to pray
I sing this song to say
I need your love.
