Ode To Joy
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
And the sun is shining on the hills, on the hills
Where once the cold and bitter frost it froze all life away
And I feel Your Spirit coming close, coming close
And it warms this aching body, and fills me through and through
Oh, I need You
Lord, I want You
Lord, I open my heart to You
Oh Jesus won't You stay with me, stay with me
I long to have You closer still, and feel You by my side
These empty dreams that we chase for, what are they for
I long for us to know our Fathers waiting, waiting for us
Oh, I need You
Lord, I want You
Lord, I open my heart to You
CHORUS:
I sing for joy, that You are in my life
And Your love it covers me
And I feel, the rushing of Your life
As Your river it flows all over me again
Lord come close, I need You now
These bitter chords that hold me tight
I let them go to You
yeah....
There's a calling
There's a Saviour coming
And these gates are open wide
(BRIDGE)
It flows all over me
It's falling, falling down all over me
