Left my fear by the side of the road
Hear You speak, won't let go
Fall to my knees as I lift my hands to pray
Got every reason to be here again
Father's love that draws me in
cnd all my eyes wanna see is a glimpse of You
cll I need is you
cll I need is you, Lord
Is you, Lord
cll I need is you
cll I need is you, Lord
Is you, Lord
One more day and it's not the same
Your Spirit calls my heart to sing
Drawn to the voice of my Saviour once again
Where'd my soul be without your Son?
Who gave His life to save the earth
Rest in the thought that you're watching over me

Eddie really moves me with his vibe and powerful voice

I know Holland- Dozier- Holland wrote this classic ballard, but know one can do this like Levi Stubb's powerful voice who it was orginally wrote for. I just had to go back and listen how superb of a job The Four Tops did and this was a B-side hit.
