Couplet 1

Don't know why I run away
And fight Your loving arms
Keep You at a distance
When I need You in my heart
Oh oh take my hand
And lead me home

Couplet 2

Will You be my shepherd Father
Will You keep me close
You're the only pasture
Where my soul can truly grow
Oh oh take my hand
And lead me home

Refrain

I need to know You
I need to know You
So much more
Like a desert needs the rain
I need to know You
I need to know You
Oh my Lord
Come and fill me up again
I need to know
You closer and closer Lord

Couplet 3

When I'm feeling lonely Lord
I know I am not alone
You are right beside me
In the sunshine or the snow
Oh oh take my hand
And lead me home

Refrain

I need to know You
I need to know You
So much more
Like a desert needs the rain
I need to know You
I need to know You
Oh my Lord
Come and fill me up again
I need to know
You closer and closer Lord

Pont

You're the playfulness
In my heart
You're the joyfulness
In my bones
From the rising
To the setting sun
You're my song
You're the melody
In my soul
You're the praise filling
Up my lungs
From the rising
To the setting sun
You're my song

Transition

You're my song

Refrain

I need to know You
I need to know You
So much more
Like a desert needs the rain
I need to know You
I need to know You
Oh my Lord
Come and fill me up again

Refrain

I need to know You
I need to know You
So much more
Like a desert needs the rain
I need to know You
I need to know You
Oh my Lord
Come and fill me up again
I need to know You
Closer and closer Lord
