I thought I needed true love to fill the lonely times
I thought maybe a song would heal this heart of mine
I thought I need new friends to put away the past
I thought the answer was good times, but the good times never last
Nothin' took away the emptiness
That I'd known for so long
And nothin' gave me peace inside
Because with all I'd done wrong
CHORUS:
I needed a savior, a savior
To do what no one else could do
I needed a savior, a savior
Oh, Jesus, I need You
It was rain in the desert
A new day of hope
You offered Your mercy
To my desperate soul
I can't believe I'm standin' here
Forgiven and free
I can't believe how far You'd go
To give life to me
CHORUS
Now and forever, evermore
You are my life, You are my Lord and Savior
CHORUS
I thought maybe a song would heal this heart of mine
I thought I need new friends to put away the past
I thought the answer was good times, but the good times never last
Nothin' took away the emptiness
That I'd known for so long
And nothin' gave me peace inside
Because with all I'd done wrong
CHORUS:
I needed a savior, a savior
To do what no one else could do
I needed a savior, a savior
Oh, Jesus, I need You
It was rain in the desert
A new day of hope
You offered Your mercy
To my desperate soul
I can't believe I'm standin' here
Forgiven and free
I can't believe how far You'd go
To give life to me
CHORUS
Now and forever, evermore
You are my life, You are my Lord and Savior
CHORUS
