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 my lungs
Burning 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 night's 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 my lungs
Burning my heart just like a fire
Come and take me over
Jesus, draw me closer to Your heart
Your heart, Your heart
And 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
Closer
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 my lungs
Burning 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 my lungs
Burning my heart just like a fire
Come and take me over
Jesus, draw me closer to Your heart
Your heart, Your heart
It's where all we'll be forever in Your heart
Your heart, Your heart
Cause I don't wanna move without You
I just wanna be in Your heart
Your heart, Your heart
Your heart, Your heart
So come and take me over
Jesus, draw me closer
To Your heart
Pull me a little closer
Take me a little deeper
I wanna know Your heart
I wanna know Your heart
Cause Your love is so much sweeter
Than anything I've tasted
I wanna know Your heart
I wanna know Your heart
So pull me a little, so pull me a little closer
Take me a little deeper
I wanna know Your heart
I wanna know Your heart
Cause Your love is so much sweeter
Than anything I've tasted
I wanna know Your heart
I wanna know Your heart
