Desire is burning in my mind
Like a firefly is lighting up the sky
My heart is aglow, oh I feel you burning up my soul
I�??m a shipwreck, a sailor lost a sea
You�??re a tidal wave that�??s crashing over me
I�??m caught in your current but I�??m sinking
I�??m drowning peacefully
And I�??m crying out, �??Come rescue me with love!�?�
Like a child needs a nightlight in the dark
Lord light me up, I�??m lovesick for just one touch
Well, now
You�??re all I need but you never seem to be enough
I�??m Romeo I�??m desperate for Your love
Hey, I�??d scale these garden walls just to see the rising sun
See your light break softly through love that I never knew
No I never knew
And I�??m crying out, �??Come rescue me with love!�?�
Like a child needs a nightlight in the dark
Lord light me up, I�??m lovesick for just one touch
Well, now
You�??re all I need but you never seem to be enough
And I�??m crying out, �??Come rescue me with love!�?�
Like a child needs a nightlight in the dark
Lord light me up, I�??m lovesick for just one touch
Well, now
You�??re all I need but you never seem to be enough
Never seem to be enough for me Lord
