[Verse 1]
I know I need You
I need to love You
I'd love to see You but it's been so long
I long to feel You
I feel this need for You
I need to hear You
Is that so wrong?

[Spoken]
"My Child, I know everything about you
I knew you even before you were conceived
I knit you together in your mother's womb
You were not a mistake, for all your days are written in my book
I'm not distant or angry
I am the complete expression of love."

[Verse 2]
Now You pull me near You
When we're close I fear You
Still I'm afraid to tell you all that I've done
Are You done forgiving?
Or can You look past my pretending, Lord
I'm so tired of defending what I've become
What have I become?
[Spoken]
"It is my desire to lavish my love on you
Simply because you are my child
Every good gift that you receive comes from my hand
Because you are my treasured possession."
Oh oh oh
"When you are broken hearted, I'm close to you
Like a shepherd carries a lamb, I've carried you close to my heart."
Oh oh oh
"One day, I'll wipe away every tear from your eyes
And I'll take away all of your pain."
Oh oh oh

[Bridge]
I hear You say
"My love is over, it's underneath
It's inside, it's in between
The times that you doubt me
When you can't feel
The times that you question
Is this for real
The times you're broken
The times that you mend
The times you hate me
And the times that you bend
Well my love is over, it's underneath
It's inside, it's in between
The times that you're healing
And when your heart breaks
The times that you feel like you've fallen from grace
The times you're hurting
The times that you heal
The times you go hungry and are tempted to steal
In times of confusion
In chaos and pain
I'm there in your sorrow under the weight of your shame
I'm there through your heartache
I'm there in the storm
My love I will keep you by my power alone
I don't care where you've fallen or where you have been
I'll never forsake you
My love never ends
It never ends."
[Spoken]
"My son died so that you and I could be together
His death was the ultimate expression of my love for you
And nothing will ever separate you from my love again
I've always been your Father, and will always be your Father
And when you come home, I'll throw the biggest party Heaven has ever seen."
