I Thirst for You

I was the boy with the high-water pants, Too shy to go to the dance, Till I learned that I could sing and play guitar And I finally felt like someone, Though my questions still remained But I've come to find my answers In the echo of Your name Chorus: And Lord I thirst for You, Like a man in the desert needs water to drink And I cling to You, like a drowning sailor, Trying not to sink And I want to trust in your hand of love, More than what I feel or think I really do - I thirst for You Well she walked that stage one night Oh, and I could feel the lightning strike And it happened just the way I'd always dreamed We got married on a winter's day And we discovered along the way That to stay in love is harder than it seemed But through all the times we've laughed or cried, Or let each other down, Jesus is the heartbeat, Of the true love we have found (Chorus) And when our baby girl arrived, Ohh, the air seemed electrified And I've understood what being happy means And I've always prayed from that first day, That she will understand, That the gift of life is not complete Until she takes Your hand (Chorus) Written by Randy Stonehill © Stonehillian Music/Word Music (A division of Word Inc.)
