I don't need a lot of things,
I can get by with nothing,
But all the blessings life can bring,
I've always needed something,
But I've got all I want,
when it comes to loving You,
You're my only reason,
You're my only truth,

[chorus]
I need You like water, like breath, like rain,
I need You like mercy from heaven's gate,
There's a freedom in your arms that carries me through,
I need You,

You're the hope that moves me
to courage again,
You're the love that rescues me,
when the cold winds rage, (yeah)
And it's so amazing, 'cause that just how You are,
And I can't turn back now, You brought me too far,

[chorus]

I need You like water, like breath, like rain,
I need You like mercy from heaven's gate,
There's a freedom in Your arms and it carries me through,
I need you,
I need you, (oh oh oh)
I need you, (oh oh oh)
oh-oh
