.

O I need Your love in this shadowed place;

I can’t get enough of Your sunlight on my face.

When it’s cold and dark,

or I’m far from home,

You are in my heart and

I never walk alone.

And just like a tree planted

by a stream,

Thirsty for a drink of Your love,

I can’t face a day without some time to pray;

I sing this song to say I need Your love.

I’m a tiny child, but when

I’m with You

I will not grow tired,

’cause there’s nothing

You can’t do.

Your love makes me strong though

I’m small and weak,

And the whole day long

You’ll speak through me when I speak.

And just like a tree planted

by a stream,

Thirsty for a drink of Your love,

I can’t face a day without some time to pray;

I sing this song to say I need Your love.

You gave all for me though

I’d cursed Your name;

On that bitter tree, Lord,

You suffered for my shame.

How can I thank You?

Your love paid my way.

All that I can do is live for You

ev’ry day.

And just like a tree planted

by a stream,

Thirsty for a drink of Your love,

I can’t face a day without some time to pray;

I sing this song to say I need Your love.
