We need Your deep love
To keep us strong
We need Your truth
To show us right from wrong
We need Your sweet peace
To keep us calm
We need Your comfort
To show us we belong to You

Sometimes we're like a river
Always running from our Source
But when we wonder why
We're almost runnin' dry
You restore us
And return us to our course

Sometimes we get so desperate
Straying further from the fold
But when it seems
That we're losing all our dreams
There's a Shepherd
With a loving hand to hold

We need Your deep love
To keep us strong
We need Your truth
To show us right from wrong
We need Your sweet peace
To keep us calm
We need Your comfort
To show us we belong to You
Forgive us, Lord
For thinking we can make it
Without You in this world

We're so foolish
Sometimes we're like a fortress
With our walls built all around
But then Your love
Comes shining down from above
And we stand and watch our walls
Come tumbling down

We need Your deep love
To keep us strong
We need Your truth
To show us right from wrong
We need Your sweet peace
To keep us calm
We need Your comfort
To show us we belong to You

We need Your deep love
To keep us strong
We need Your truth
To show us right from wrong
We need Your sweet peace
To keep us calm
We need Your comfort
To show us we belong to You...
