Lyrics
I THOUGHT I COULD LIVE WITHOUT YOU
© Eva Fry 1998
I THOUGHT I WAS INDEPENDENT, DEAR LORD.
AND SELF SUFFICENT, DEAR LORD.
I THOUGHT I?D DO IT MY WAY, DEAR LORD.
HOW FOOLISH MY THINKING WAS.
I THOUGHT I COULD LIVE WITHOUT YOU LORD. I WAS WRONG
AND IGNORE YOUR TEACHINGS LORD. I WAS WRONG.
I THOUGHT I DIDN?T NEED YOU LORD, I WAS WRONG.
I NEED YOU WITH ALL MY HEART.
I CHOOSE DISOBEDIENCE, DEAR LORD.
MADE WRONG DECISIONS, DEAR LORD.
REBELLION KEPT ME FROM YOU, DEAR LORD.
EMPTINESS FILLED MY HEART.
I THOUGHT I COULD LIVE WITHOUT YOU LORD, I WAS WRONG.
AND IGNORE YOUR TEACHINGS LORD, I WAS WRONG.
I THOUGHT I DIDN?T NEED YOU LORD, I WAS WRONG.
I NEED YOU WITH ALL MY HEART.
PRIDE WAS THE PROBLEM, DEAR LORD
UNBELIEF MY DOWN FALL, DEAR LORD
NOW I KNOW I NEED YOU, DEAR LORD.
FORGIVE ME, I NEED YOUR LOVE.
I THOUGHT I COULD LIVE WITHOUT YOU LORD, I WAS WRONG.
AND IGNORE YOUR TEACHINGS LORD, I WAS WRONG.
I THOUGHT I DIDN?T NEED YOU LORD, I WAS WRONG.
I NEED YOU WITH ALL MY HEART.
I LOVE YOU WITH ALL MY HEART.
I NEED YOU WITH ALL MY HEART.
I LOVE YOU WITH ALL MY HEART.
