I Thirst For You
I was the boy with the high-water pants • Too shy to go to the dance • So I stayed at home wishin' on a fallin' star • And I'd listen to the radio • And it hit me like a miracle • When I found 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 backstage one night • Oh, and I could feel the lightning strike • Well, 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 seems • But through all of times we've laughed or cried • Or let each other down • Jesus is the heartbeat • Of the true love we have found •• CHORUS •• Oh, how I thirst for You • Oh, how I thirst for You • And when our baby girl arrived • Oh, the air seemed electrified • You could almost feel the rush of angels' wings • And when I kissed her tiny face • I stood trembling and amazed • And I 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 •• I really do, I thirst for Tou • I really do • I thirst for Tou • Oh, how I thirst for You • Oh, how I thirst for you • Produced by Terry Taylor • Written by Randy Stonehill - © Stonehillian Music/Word Music (a div. of Word, Inc.)
