I Need You

Jars Of Clay · Furthermore: From the Studio/From the Stage [2003]

Strangely out of place

There is a light filling this room where

None would follow before



I can't deny it burns me up inside

I fan the flames to melt away my pride

Do I want shelter from the rain

Or the rain to wash me away



I need You, I need You, I need You

I need You, I need You, I need You

You're all I'm living for



I might sound like a fool

But I think I felt You moving closer to me



Face to the ground to hide the fatal cut

I fight the weight, I feel You lift me up

You are the shelter from the rain

And the rain to wash me away



Face to the ground to hide the fatal cut

I fight the weight, I feel You lift me up

I can't deny it burns me up inside

I fan the flames to melt away my pride

Only have a second to spare but

All the time in the world to know You're there

You are the shelter from the rain

And the rain to wash me away
