Don't know why I run away
And fight Your loving arms
Keep You at a distance
When I need You in my heart
Oh oh, take my hand and lead me home
Will You be my shepherd, Father?
Will You keep me close
You're the only pasture
Where my soul can truly grow
Oh oh, take my hand and lead me home

I need to know You
I need to know You so much more
Like a desert needs the rain
I need to know You
I need to know You, oh my Lord
Come and fill me up again
I need to know You closer and closer, Lord

When I'm feeling lonely, Lord
I know I am not alone
You are right beside me in the sunshine or the snow
Oh oh, take my hand and lead me home
I need to know You
I need to know You so much more
Like a desert needs the rain
I need to know You
I need to know You, oh my Lord
Come and fill me up again
I need to know You closer and closer, Lord
You're the playfulness in my heart
You're the joyfulness in my bones
From the rising to the setting sun
You're my song
You're the melody in my soul
You're the praise filling up my lungs
From the rising to the setting sun
You're my song
You're the playfulness in my heart
You're the joyfulness in my bones
From the rising to the setting sun
You're my song
You're the melody in my soul
You're the praise filling up my lungs
From the rising to the setting sun
You're my song
You're my song
I need to know You
I need to know You so much more
Like a desert needs the rain
I need to know You
I need to know You, oh my Lord
Come and fill me up again
I need to know You
I need to know You so much more
Like a desert needs the rain
I need to know You
I need to know You, oh my Lord
Come and fill me up again
I need to know You closer and closer, Lord
