Randy Stonehill - 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 guitarAnd I finally felt like someone,Though my questions still remainedBut I've come to find my answersIn the echo of Your nameChorus:And Lord I thirst for You,Like a man in the desert needs water to drinkAnd I cling to You, like a drowning sailor,Trying not to sinkAnd I want to trust in your hand of love,More than what I feel or thinkI really do - I thirst for YouWell she walked that stage one nightOh, and I could feel the lightning strikeAnd it happened just the way I'd always dreamedWe got married on a winter's dayAnd we discovered along the wayThat to stay in love is harder than it seemedBut 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 electrifiedAnd I've understood what being happy meansAnd I've always prayed from that first day,That she will understand,That the gift of life is not completeUntil she takes Your hand(Chorus)Written by Randy Stonehill© Stonehillian Music/Word Music(a division of Word Inc.)
