How my soul longs for you
Like water to the earth
In a dry and hopeless land
God send down rain
God you sustain
You're my source of oxygen
Desperate for you I am
Emmanuel
God change my heart within
Reveal to me all my sin
Emmanuel
Dare I resist your life
Dare I resist your providence
You're ever near to me
Like blood to my veins
God you sustain
You're my source of oxygen
Desperate for you I am
Emmanuel
God change my heart within
Reveal to me all my sin
Emmanuel
When need meets surrender
And surrender bears your name
Emmanuel God with us
I you will I remain
How my soul longs for you
Emmanuel
Emmanuel
You're my source of oxygen
Desperate for you I am
Emmanuel
God change my heart within
Reveal to me all my sin
Emmanuel
You're my source of oxygen
Desperate for you I am
Emmanuel
God change my heart within
Desperate for you I am
Emmanuel
How my soul longs for you
Emmanuel
