(Chorus) 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
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
