What I need and what I want sometimes don't get along
What I need, needs to scream out
What I want just wants to sing along
One seems day
One seems night
One seems left
One seems right
Somehow through this tug-of-war
Just a glimpse of your desires I see
All that's around me
Then falls short
And your wants become my needs
Yeah, that's what I need
A hand to hold
A heart that's free
Yeah, that's what I need
A loving gaze
Looking my way
Yeah, that's what I need
What I need is a mountain
Where I can stand when the waters rise
What I need is the waters
Cause in my stance my faith has dried
I want the sun
When I need the rain
I want the comfort
When I need the pain
But all I want and need do not exist but by
Your command
I won't worry with what I'll be given
And take the Giver's hand
(chorus)
By your grace the first time
By your mercy another chance
I need to be on my knees
I need to stand and dance
I need to stop where I am
I need to follow through
I need, I need, I need you
You're what I need
(chorus)
I need you
I need you
That's what I need
