Lyrics
I Need to Be with You (©2011 Michael Todd Davis)
V1
As the morning dew fell
So did I before my King
I handed Him my problems
My weaknesses, everything
I could feel my burdens lift
The ones that brought me to my knees
And as tears ran down my face
I met the Prince of Peace
Chorus
Jesus,
I'm so sorry for my sins
I stumbled and I fell
I need to hear from You again
Jesus,
How You love me like You do
I owe You everything
And I need to be with You
V2
I find my strength in Him
Oh, what a sweet release
As His love washes over me
That's why He's called the Prince of Peace
Though it pains me to know
I'll break His heart again, this very day
But He'll stretch His loving arms
And He'll hold me while I pray
Chorus
Jesus,
I'm so sorry for my sins
I stumbled and I fell
I need to hear from You again
Jesus,
How You love me like You do
I owe You everything
And I need to be with You
