I know I need You
I need to love You
I love to see You, but it's been so long
I long to feel You
I feel this need for You
And I need to hear You, is that so wrong?

Oh, oh.
Oh, oh.
Oh, oh.
Oh, oh.
Oh, oh.
Oh, oh.

Now You pull me near You
When we're close, I fear You
Still I'm afraid to tell You, all that I've done
Are You done forgiving?
Oh can You look past my pretending?
Lord, I'm so tired of defending, what I've become
What have I become?

Oh, oh.
Oh, oh.
Oh, oh.
Oh, oh.
Oh, oh.
Oh, oh.
Oh, oh.
Oh, oh.
Oh, oh.
Oh, oh.
Oh, oh.
Oh, oh.

I hear You say,
"My love is over. It's underneath.
It's inside. It's in between.
The times you doubt Me, when you can't feel.
The times that you question, "Is this for real?"
The times you're broken.
The times that you mend.
The times that you hate Me, and the times that you bend.
Well, My love is over, it's underneath.
It's inside, it's in between.
These times you're healing, and when your heart breaks.
The times that you feel like you're falling from grace.
The times you're hurting.
The times that you heal.
The times you go hungry, and are tempted to steal.
The times of confusion, in chaos and pain.
I'm there in your sorrow, under the weight of your shame.
I'm there through your heartache.
I'm there in the storm.
My love I will keep you, by My pow'r alone.
I don't care where you fall, where you have been.
I'll never forsake you, My love never ends.
It never ends."

Oh, oh.
Oh, oh.
Oh, oh.
Oh, oh.
Oh, oh.
Oh, oh.

    My Interpretation:God (regardless of who you are, and what you've done), will always love you, will always forgive you, if you will come to him with a sincere heart.

    General Comment:Great song. I think it's about needing God. He's the one who removes our guilt, discomforts, pains, darkness... all we need is to reach out.

    General Comment:From when he sings "I hear you say..." until the very end always brings tears to my eyes. We can be foolish sometimes and forget that God loves us, no matter what. When we are angry with him, hate him or fall away from him, he never stopped loving us.

    Lyric Correction:I think instead of "the times you go hungry and attempted to steal" it's "the times you go hungry and are tempted to steal" or at least that's how I hear it.

    General Comment:God in Heaven, I can't hear or sing this song without crying...

    I think we can feel both sides of this song. The verses belong to anyone who has ever believed in God, lost faith in Him, hid from Him, loved Him, yearned for Him, questioned Him...

    But, the bridge, the rest of the song belongs to God. That's His love letter right there. That's Him telling us that nothing will separate us from His love. When we hate Him (God, I can barely type that) and when we're numb... bitter... unforgiving... ashamed... hurt... scared... rejoicing... loving... praising... singing... dancing... laughing... whenever, wherever He will always be with us.

    :) Smile, you are loved.

    General Comment:now you pulled me near you
    when we're close i fear you
    still im afraid to tell you
    all that i've done



    i love that part of the song. very true in many peoples eyes. its saying that when you(God) have pulled me near you. i fear you. saying that you cant fear God if you dont know his limits or power that he contains. when you are close to him you know what he can do to you. you know his limits and powers. and. still im afraid to tell you. all that ive done is saying that even though he knows everything. its still so hard for us people to tell him and confess to him what we have done. i love this band and song so much.

    General Comment:this is auch a good reminder of God's never-ending love for us! so much of the time, we feel that we can't face him because we're ashamed, but he's there for us no matter what.
