I need God in all the familiar places that this lonely heart of mine embraces,
Oh, I need God.

Well, I need God, but I've wandered so far away,
More and more, each and every day, I go astray.

Well, his open arms reach out to me, longing and begging to set me free,
Will I reach out and take them, or turn away, forsake them'
No, no, no.

Well, I need God, but I wonder if he can still hear me,
And if so, won't you please draw near to me'
Oh, well, I need God.

Well, his open arms reach out to me, longing and begging to set me free,
Will I reach out, take them, or turn away, oh, forsake them'
Oh, no, no.

Well, I need God, but I wonder if he still needs me,
If so, won't you please draw near to me'
Oh, please, God.

Oh, yes,
I need you, don't you know'
Don't you know'
Whoa, whoa, I need God,
Yes, I do,
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
God,

Oh, I need God.
