I need Your Love
Like the desert needs the rain
I need Your touch
Like the fire needs the flame
One moment without You near
Is heartache I cannot bear
A lifetime with You O Lord
Is Heaven I long to Know
Heaven
Come over me
Like the oceans meets the shore
Shine on my life
Like the morning steals
Steals the light

Hillsong Worship's song 'Heaven' expresses a deep longing for God's presence, comparing it to essential elements like rain for the desert and flame for fire. The lyrics convey that a moment without God brings heartache, while a lifetime with Him is the heaven the singer yearns for. The chorus invites God's presence to overwhelm like the ocean meeting the shore and to shine like morning light. This worship song reflects a theme of desperate dependence on God's love and the desire for His nearness.
