Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Like the rushing wind

Would You breathe within my heart?

Heart

And through the raging storm

Would You hold me in Your arms?

Arms

[PreChorus]

'Cause I need You

How I need You!

[Chorus]

I need Your love like I need water

I need Your love like I need breath inside of my lungs

Burn in my heart just like a fire

Come and take me over

Jesus, draw me closer to Your heart

To Your heart

[Verse 2]

And through the wind and rain

I can hear You call my name

Name

And when the nights get rough

I will still sing out Your praise

[PreChorus]

'Cause I need You

How I need You!

'Cause I need You

[Chorus]

I need Your love like I need water

And I need Your love like I need breath inside of my lungs

Burn in my heart just like a fire

Come and take me over

Jesus, draw me closer to Your heart

Your heart

Your heart

[Bridge]

And closer than my every breath

Closer than my every step

Closer than the song I sing

Closer than anything

Closer than my every breath

Closer than my every step

Closer than the song I sing

Closer than anything

Closer than my every breath

Closer than my every step

Closer than the song I sing

Closer than anything

[Chorus]

I need Your love like I need water

I need Your love like I need breath inside of my lungs

Burn in my heart just like a fire

Come and take me over

Jesus, draw me closer

[Chorus]

I need Your love like I need water

I need Your love like I need breath inside of my lungs

Burn in my heart just like a fire

Come and take me over

Jesus, draw me closer to Your heart

Your heart

Your heart

It's where I wanna be forever

In Your heart

In Your heart

Your heart

'Cause I don't wanna move without You

I just wanna be in Your heart

Your heart

Your heart

It's Your heart

Your heart

So come and take me over

Jesus, draw me closer to Your heart

[Outro]

Pull me a little closer

Take me a little deeper

I wanna know Your heart

I wanna know Your heart

'Cause Your love is so much sweeter

Than anything I've tasted

I wanna know Your heart

I wanna know Your heart

Pull me a little closer

Take me a little deeper

I wanna know Your heart

I wanna know Your heart

'Cause Your love is so much sweeter

Than anything I've tasted

I wanna know your heart

I wanna know your heart
