Lyrics
Intro
Ooooh
Yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah
I'm running Lord I'm calling
Hear me now
Heey
Verse 1
Lately I've been fighting battles in my mind
Smiling on the outside broken deep inside
Everyone is talking but nobody sees
The heavy heart I'm carrying on my knees
Pre-Chorus
I try to walk the path but I'm slipping away
I try to stand strong but I'm losing my way
Father can You take this pain from me
I'm reaching out Lord I'm begging please
I don't wanna fall again
I'm tired of hiding it
Only You can heal this heart
Only You can cover me
Chorus
So I'm crying out Lord I need Your love again
Hold me close don't let me fade away (Yeah yeah)
Save me from myself I can't pretend
Lord I need, I need Your love again
Your love again
Verse 2
People think I'm fine but they don't know my pain
Walking through the fire calling out Your name
I've been searching for a light that never lies
Only You can bring me peace I can't deny
Pre-Chorus 2
Take my worries take my fears take it all
Pick me up every time I fall
I'm lost without You Father please
Come and breathe Your life in me
I don't wanna fall again
I'm tired of hiding it
Only You can heal this heart
Only You can cover me
Chorus
So I'm crying out Lord I need Your love again
Hold me close don't let me fade away (Away)
Save me from myself I can't pretend
Lord I need, I need Your love again
Your love again
Bridge
Oh oh
Your love again
When the darkness tries to pull me under
You're the only one I'm running after
Father hear me don't let go
I need Your grace I need Your hope
(Oh oh oh oh)
Chorus
So I'm crying out Lord I need Your love again
Hold me close don't let me fade away
Save me from myself I can't pretend
Lord I need, I need Your love again
Your love again
Outro
Oh oh
Your love again

Meaning & Inspiration
“Need Your Love Again” by Victor Ivyic is a prayer from someone who is hurting behind a smile. The first verse speaks of battles in the mind, brokenness inside and a heavy heart carried on the knees. The pre-chorus asks the Father to take the pain, saying that only He can heal the heart and cover the singer.
The chorus is the plea: “Lord, I need Your love again, hold me close, don’t let me fade away, save me from myself.” The second verse says that others think the singer is fine and asks for peace, and the bridge speaks of running to the Father when the darkness pulls under, asking for grace and hope.
The themes are close to Psalm 34:18, Psalm 51:10-12 and 1 Peter 5:7, on God’s nearness to the brokenhearted, a prayer for restoration and casting every anxiety on Him. The song is slow, direct and personal.
