I Thirst For You Lyrics

I was the boy with the high-water pants,
Too shy to go to the dance,
Till I learned 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 that stage one night
Oh, and I could feel the lightning strike
And 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 seemed
But through all the times we've laughed or cried,
Or let each other down,
Jesus is the heartbeat,
Of the true love we have found

(Chorus)

And when our baby girl arrived,
Ohh, the air seemed electrified
And I've 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)
