Like the desert needs the rain
Like a fire needs a flame
Like the air we need to breath
That’s how I need You
Tell me who is like our God
Grace and justice are His song
He reaches down to us in love
I lay me down today and sing
You are my life
Do whatever You want
My heart’s desire
I am caught in Your love
Please don’t ever let me go now
Lord have my life
Do whatever You want
Come light Your fire
For the greater cause
And please don’t ever let me go
Don’t ever let me go now
You are enough
Your love is enough
You are enough
Your love is enough
You are enough
Your love is enough
For me
Lord have my life
Do whatever You want
Come light Your fire
For the greater cause
And please don’t ever let me go
Don’t ever let me go now
