J. Brian Craig<\/a> is my favorite Christian song writer. He’s written several congregational songs for our church’s songbook<\/a>, and those are among my favorites to sing. This song has resonated with me today:
\nI Need Your Love<\/b>
\nJ. Brian Craig, 1999
\n© Discipleship Publications International
\nO I need your love
\nIn this shadowed place
\nI can’t get enough
\nOf your sunlight on my face.
\nWhen it’s cold and dark
\nOr I’m far from home
\nYou are in my heart
\nAnd I never walk alone.
\nAnd just like a tree
\nPlanted by a stream,
\nThirsty for a drink
\nOf your love,
\nI can’t face a day
\nWithout some time to pray
\nI sing this song to say
\nI need your love.<\/i>
\nI’m a tiny child
\nBut when I’m with you
\nI will not grow tired
\n‘Cause there’s nothing you can’t do.
\nYour love makes me strong
\nThough I’m small and weak,
\nAnd the whole day long
\nYou’ll speak through me when I speak.
\nAnd just like a tree
\nPlanted by a stream,
\nThirsty for a drink
\nOf your love,
\nI can’t face a day
\nWithout some time to pray
\nI sing this song to say
\nI need your love.<\/i>
\nYou gave all for me
\nThough I cursed your name
\nOn that bitter tree,
\nLord, You suffered for my shame.
\nHow can I thank you?
\nYour love paid my way.
\nAll that I can do
\nIs live for You every day.
\nAnd just like a tree
\nPlanted by a stream,
\nThirsty for a drink
\nOf your love,
\nI can’t face a day
\nWithout some time to pray
\nI sing this song to say
\nI need your love.<\/i>
\nUpdate:<\/i> I revised the lyrics to match those on his old (no longer available) website. His current lyrics are now here.<\/a>.
\nUpdate 2 (July 27, 2012): Removed the dead links to the LA ICC and added a link to his new website. No MP3 that I could find anymore.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
