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
