Lyrics
I need to have You
All You are
I swear I won't last long
In less my hands reach Your heart
Come be the comfort
I need You here
I'm feeling like a boy
Whose mom was never there
You will have my love, Jesus
We will become one, Jesus
Hallelujah
Hallelujah, come Lord, Jesus
I've had gold and silver
It's all the same
But I know if You're not near
My life's spent in pain
There's no wind without You
No breath to speak
Still this maranatha
I'm spitting through my teeth
You will have my love, Jesus
We will become one, Jesus
Hallelujah
Hallelujah, come Lord, Jesus
The only way to God
Is through the Son
Through those eyes of fire
I vow to respond
To His love
Jesus, You're so precious to my heart
We were made to be
Together, all my days will be one
Maranatha
Maranatha, come Lord, Jesus

Meaning & Inspiration
The song uses the ancient prayer Maranatha, meaning a plea for the Lord to come, as an expression of longing for Jesus. Gold and silver are treated as inadequate beside His nearness, while breath, comfort, and life itself are pictured as dependent on His presence. The recurring hallelujah and call for Jesus to come give the lyrics the character of both worship and urgent prayer.
The song also confesses that access to God comes through the Son, a claim that closely reflects the words of Jesus in John. Its images of eyes like fire and the repeated Maranatha recall biblical visions of the returning Christ and the closing prayer of Revelation. Alongside those images, the lyrics speak in intimate language about devotion and belonging to Jesus. That combination joins personal surrender with the wider Christian hope of His return, making the refrain a concise prayer for communion with Christ now and for His promised coming.
