It's my thirsty inside
That's desperate for Your light
I can't help this longing
In my soul
It's the wind inside my lungs
The rain that's on my tongue
It's the privilege of knowing
Who You are
I'm desperate
To come in
I won't be satisfied
Until I'm with You face to face
You're like the water from the sky
Yes, I need You
Yes, I need You
I need You like water
Yes, I need You
Yes, I need You
I need You like water
Yes, I need You
Yes, I need You
I need You like water
You're the hope that I hold onto
And You're the reason I will endure
I've learned to place my trust
In Your ways
Yeah, my knees at times are so weak
But my feeble eyes, they help me to see
That I'm sustained alone
By the words You say
I'm desperate
To come in
And I won't be satisfied
Until I'm with You face to face
You're like the water from the sky
Yes, I need You
Yes, I need You
I need You like water
Yes, I need You
Yes, I need You
I need You like water
Yes, I need You
Yes, I need You
I need You like water
'Cause I need You
Yes, I need You
I need You like water
Yes, I need You
Yes, I need You
I need You like water
Yes, I need You
Yes, I need You
I need You like water
