Draw me again
Into the center of your love
Where I began
I know that you are still enough
Lord you restore
All the desires of my heart
Just like before
When I discovered who you are
I need you more
I need you more than ever
I need you more
Jesus I need you more
I will abide
Be still and know that you are God
For you are mine
And in your presence I’m alive
Here in this place
Within your shadow I am safe
Every mistake
Fading into the light of grace
I need you more
I need you more than ever
I need you more
Jesus I need you more
I need you more
I need you more than ever
I need you more
Jesus I need you more
Oh yes, I need you more
Be my heart’s obsession
First and only in my life
In your love alone
My soul is satisfied
Be my heart’s obsession
First and only in my life
In your love alone
My soul is satisfied
Be my heart’s obsession
First and only in my life
In your love alone
My soul is satisfied
Be my heart’s obsession
First and only in my life
In your love alone
My soul is satisfied
I need you more
I need you more than ever
I need you more
Jesus I need you more
I need you more
I need you more than ever
I need you more
Jesus I need you more
Oh I need you more
