I Need You
words and music by Dan Haseltine, Charlie Lowell,
Stephen Mason and Matt Odmark
from 'The Eleventh Hour' performed by ~Jars of Clay

Strangely out of place
There is a light filling this room where
none would follow before
I can't deny it burns me up inside
I fan the flames to melt away my pride
Do I want shelter from the rain
Or the rain to wash me away?

(chorus)
I need You, I need You, I need You
I need You, I need You, I need You
You're all I'm living for

I might sound like a fool
But I think I felt You moving closer to me
Face to the ground to hide the fatal cut
I fight the weight, I feel You lift me up
You are the shelter from the rain
And the rain to wash me away

(repeat chorus)

Face to the ground to hide the fatal cut
I fight the weight, I feel You lift me up
I can't deny it burns me up inside
I fan the flames to melt away my pride
Only have a second to spare
All the time in the world to know You're there
You are the shelter from the rain
And the rain to wash me away

(repeat chorus)
