I Need, I Need

Lately my heart is full and empty. I'd like to quote Josh Bales and his brilliant songwriting for how I'm feeling tonight:

I Need You
by Josh Bales
as performed by The Swift

My heart is restless in me
My wings are all worn out
I'm walking in the wilderness
And I cannot get out
I need you
Oh, I need you
Blessed Savior come
I need you
Oh, I need you
Fill the empty longing of my soul
Oh, how I need you Lord
I need your perfect Word
With tearful eyes to see
The sin that I afford
I need to weep and pray
For all the thousand ways
That I have failed you just today
My bed is soaked with sadness
My sadness has no end
A downward spiral of despair
That I keep falling in
I need you
Oh, I need you
To you my sould shall fly
I need you
Oh, I need you
Yaweh, how I love you more than life
Your silence is like death to me
So won't you hear my desperate plea
Today my soul is soaring
Way over mountains high
Though I can see the valleys
They're all just passing by
It's not that I am stronger
Look at my feeble wings
But I've been lifted higher
Yaweh's lifted me in his own strength
Oh, how I love you Lord
I love your perfect word
With tearful eyes to see
The God who always will endure
Now I will celebrate
For all the thousand ways
That you have shown me grace
And made my heart to stay
You've made my heart in grace to stay
I need you
Oh, I need you
