I Need Your Love

O, I need Your love in this shadowed place;
I can’t get enough of Your sunlight on my face.
When it’s cold and dark, or I’m far from home,
You are in my heart and I never walk alone.

And just like a tree planted by a stream
Thirsty for a drink of Your love,
I can’t face a day without some time to pray;
I sing this song to say I need Your love.

I’m a tiny child, but when I’m with you
I will not grow tired,
Because there’s nothing you can’t do.
Your love makes me strong though I’m small and weak,
And the whole day long
You’ll speak through me when I speak.

And just like a tree planted by a stream
Thirsty for a drink of Your love,
I can’t face a day without some time to pray;
I sing this song to say I need Your love.

You gave all for me though I’d cursed Your name;
On that bitter tree, Lord, You suffered for my shame
How can I thank You? Your love paid my way.
All that I can do is live for You every day.

And just like a tree planted by a stream
Thirsty for a drink of Your love,
I can’t face a day without some time to pray;
I sing this song to say I need Your love.
