THERE COMES A NEED
Vs. !a
I turn over my old pillow, it's a night that lasts too long,
Time keeps dragging on.
I can’t get to sleep, I’ve quit counting sheep
Now I’m counting all the things that I’ve done wrong.
Then suddenly it dawns on me and I realize that deep inside
There comes a need......
On this sleepless night, deep inside my soul........
There comes a need.
Vs. 2a
I pull my blanket closer just to keep the memories warm
Dreams whirl past me like a storm.
Dreams of wasted places, wounded faces
They won’t settle down until I’m tired and worn.
Then suddenly it dawns on me
and I realize that deep inside
There comes a need......
On this sleepless night, deep inside my soul......
There comes a need.
Chorus
There comes a need
to know someone kind who understands......
A need for someone strong to take my hand.
Pull me across the darkness of the night
Show me how to wake up in the Light.
There comes a need.
Vs. 3a
I lie within the silence of a heart that breaks with pain
The efforts I have made were all in vain.
Just this emptiness,
is all that’s in me,
I guess......
The past keeps my heart bound up in chains.
Suddenly it dawns on me and I realize
deep inside
There comes a need.
On this sleepless night, deep inside my soul......
There comes a need.
Bridge
Is it you ,O Lord?
Do You know the secrets of my heart,
Can you reveal my hidden parts?
Is it You, O Lord?
Who’ll build up the waste places of my past?
Will You put away the memories and hold my present fast?
Is it You, O Lord?
Vs. 4a
I’m kneeling by my bedside
so very late at night..........
Surrendering to You, I give this life.
Tears soak my cheeks.......
I cannot speak
Amazed by grace......
Transformed by power and might.
And suddenly ......it dawns on me .....
I realize that deep inside
I can no longer hide..........
Deep inside my soul ........
You fill my need.
Chorus
You fill my need
to know someone strong who understands
A need for someone to take my hand.
Pull me across the darkness of the night
show me how to wake up in the Light.
You fill my need.
