(Chorus)
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 runnin' dry
You restore us and return us to our course
Sometimes we get so desperate
Straying further from the fold
But when it seems that 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
