Lyrics

(V1)
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

(V2)
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

(Ch)
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

(V3)
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
