I need You, Lord Come soften this heart of clay I need You, Lord Come wash away every stain For as the deer longs for the water I thirst for You evermore My soul is like a desert weary and barren I need You, Lord More than the air I breathe More than anything You are the reason I live I don't wanna live a day Away from Your love I need You, Lord I can not forget All of Your goodness and love As the heavens are high Your mercies are endless, oh God I am Your child and You are my father I know that You love me For all of my failures are washed in Your blood I need You, Lord More than the air I breathe More than anything You are the reason I live I don't wanna live a day Away from Your love I need You, Lord I need You, Jesus I need You, Savior I need You, forever I need You
