I Know I Need You

DEEP SHALLOWS WITHIN THE HEART
WIND BLOWING NOWHERE
AND RIVER FLOWING INTO ENDLESS CHANNELS
ENGULFED IN THE PLEASURABLE DARKNESS OF DEBAUCHERY
AND HIDDEN FROM THE LIGHT OF THE HEAVENS
... ALL TOO SOON I KNOW I NEED YOU
EYES FULL OF TEARS, FOR THE EVIL IT HAS SEEN
HEART FULL OF SORROW, FOR THE SOUR IT HAS TASTED
MY LIFE FULL OF NOTHING, BECAUSE, FOR NOTHING, IT HAS LIVED
ALL TOO SOON I KNOW I NEED JESUS
HE IS NOTHING, BUT ALL I NEED
