I Need Your Love
Resurrection Band Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I...I need your love,
People come and go, people change,
Your love flows, you stay the same,
I want your love.
I...I want your fire,
I...I need your desires,
Fire's burning - I'm so glad You found me,
I...I want your fire,
I...I need your desires.
Oh, I'm not ashamed,
I'm not ashamed anymore,
I'm not ashamed,
I'm not ashamed anymore,
I'm not ashamed,
I'm not ashamed anymore,
I call you love,
Jesus, I call you Lord.
I...I want your love,
I...I need your love,
Oh, people come and go, people change,
Your love flows, you stay the same,
You're the beginning, you're the end,
You're my first love, my best friend,
You brought the daylight to the day,
Created starlight to guide my way,
You are my saviour, you are my Lord,
You paid the price I could never afford.
I...I want your love,
I...I need your love,
Oh, I...I want your love,
I need your love,
I need your love,
Need your love,
Need your love,
I need your love,
