Like the rushing wind
Would you breathe within my heart, heart
Through the raging storm
Would you hold me in your arms, arms
'Cause I need you
How I need you
I need your love like I need water
I need your love like I need breath inside of my lungs
Burn in my heart just like a fire
Come and take me over, Jesus draw me closer
To your heart
Through the wind and rain
I can hear you call my name, name
And when the nights get rough
I will still sing out your Praise
'Cause I need you
How I need you
I need your love like I need water
I need your love like I need breath inside of my lungs
Burn in my heart just like a fire
Come and take me over, Jesus draw me closer
To your heart, your heart, your heart
Closer than my every breath
Closer than my every step
Closer than the song I sing
Closer than anything
Closer than my every breath
Closer than my every step
Closer than the song I sing
Closer than anything
I need your love like I need water
I need your love like I need breath inside of my lungs
Burn in my heart just like a fire
Come and take me over, Jesus draw me closer
I need your love like I need water
I need your love like I need breath inside of my lungs
Burn in my heart just like a fire
Come and take me over, Jesus draw me closer
To your heart, your heart, your heart
Oh, how I need you Lord
Come and take me over, Jesus draw me closer
To your heart
