I need you like the earth

needs the rain.

I need you when I'm

all alone, and feeling

like I cannot go

another step.

Yes in the darkest of night

I need you to hold me,

in your arms of love.

I need you to awaken me

with the dawning of morning.

For I need you,

and will meet you in

the secret place of prayer

that's what I live for,

to breathe in your presence.

The wealth and riches are good,

friends and loved ones,

are special to have around,

but I need you.

I need your love,

which sets me free

to adore and honor you.

Oh! How I need you

Abba Father, and I will

continue to pusue you,

to spend time in the secret

place!

I will forever need you!
