Song Lyrics

Words and music: Bob Hartman

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 running dry
You restore us and return us to our course

Sometimes we get so desperate straying further from the fold
But when it seems 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
