(Chorus) 
We need Your deep love to keep us strong 
We need Your truth to show us right from wrong 
We need Your sweet peace to keep us calm 
We need Your comfort to show us we belong to You 

Sometimes we're like a river 
Always running from our Source 
But when we wonder why we're almost runnin' dry 
You restore us and return us to our course 

Sometimes we get so desperate 
Straying further from the fold 
But when it seems that we're losing all our dreams 
There's a Shepherd with a loving hand to hold 

Forgive us Lord 
For thinking we can make it without You in this world 

We're so foolish 
Sometimes we're like a fortress 
With our walls built all around 
But then Your love comes shining down from above 
And we stand and watch our walls come tumbling down
