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 saviour, come,
I need you, oh, I need you,
Fill the every longing in my soul.
Oh, how I need you, Lord; I need your perfect word,
With tearful eyes to see the sin that I afford,
I need to weep and pray for all the thousand ways that I have failed you just today.
And 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 to see the sin that I afford,
I need to weep and pray for all the thousand ways that I have failed you just today, yeah.
Your silence is like death to me,
So won't you hear my desperate plea?
Today my soul is soaring, way over mountains high,
Though 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: Yahweh's lifted me in his own strength.
Oh, how I love you, Lord; I love your perfect word,
With tearful eyes to see the God who always will endure,
Now I will celebrate for all the thousand ways that you have shown me grace, and made my heart in grace to stay,
You've made my heart in grace to stay,
Lord, make my heart in grace to stay.
