I Need You
Longing for Love: Nikki Leonti's Soulful Cry to the Divine
Lyrics
Often times I've come to You
Expressing a history of approaching the divine
With multiple requests
Coming with various requests and concerns
Needing, wanting, searching for the answers to this mess
Seeking answers and solutions in the midst of chaos
Often times I've come to You
Repeatedly seeking divine intervention
With pain to take away
Approaching with emotional pain
Begging to the God on high
Begging for assistance from a higher power
To get me through the day
Requesting guidance to navigate the challenges of the day
But Lord this time I come
Expressing a unique intention this time – seeking love
With a longing for Your love
Desiring a connection with the divine based on love
CHORUS:
Reiteration of the specific need for divine love
I need You
Expressing the necessity of the divine in life
To be my Father
Seeking a paternal role from the divine
I need You
Expressing the need for divine strength
To be the strength that I need
Desiring divine support and protection
To hold me in Your keeping
Seeking comfort and emotional healing from the divine
And wipe away the tears
Expressing the desire for divine intervention in emotional pain
It's true
Affirming the truth of the need for the divine
I need You
Reiterating the fundamental need for the divine
There's so much more that You can give
Acknowledging the abundance of divine offerings
Than what I've required
Recognizing that divine provisions surpass personal requirements
So help me to see beyond myself
Requesting guidance to see beyond personal desires
In all my desires
Acknowledging a need for a broader perspective
I'm done with all the temporary things to meet my needs
Rejecting temporary solutions for personal needs
I've learned that nothing satisfies like truly being free
Realizing the incomparable satisfaction of true freedom
On my knees I come
Returning to a humble and prayerful position
Longing for Your love
Expressing a profound need for divine love
CHORUS
Reiteration of the essential need for divine support
BRIDGE:
Highlighting the uniqueness of divine love
There's nothing really too ordinary
Emphasizing the extraordinary nature of divine love
About the love that you've given me
Gratitude for the exceptional love received
Nothing like knowing the truth
Acknowledging the liberating power of truth
That sets me free
Expressing freedom through divine truth
CHORUS
Final affirmation of the fundamental need for the divine
