Lyrics:

Like the branches of a tree

Every limb and every leaf

Every single part of me begins in You

Like an endless symphony

Every note and every beat

My whole life a melody composed by You

I have to have Your presence

I have to know the sound of Your voice

I long to touch the heavens

I don?t want to live without You

Like the waves upon the shore

Ever reaching out for more

All that I adore is found in You

Just as simple as a child

Longing for the father?s smile

Every moment of my life wrapped up in You

I have to have Your presence

I have to know the sound of Your voice

I long to touch the heavens

I don?t want to live without You

Let Your heart be my heart

Let Your thoughts be my thoughts

Let Your way be my way

I have to have You

Let Your heart be my heart

Let Your thoughts be my thoughts

Let Your way be my way

I have to have You

Let Your heart be my heart

Let Your thoughts be my thoughts

Let Your way be my way

I have to have You

I have to have Your presence

I have to know the sound of Your voice

I long to touch the heavens

I don?t want to live without You

I have to have Your presence

I have to know the sound of Your voice

I long to touch the heavens

I don?t want to live without You
