The Lads - Ode To Joy lyrics

(V1)

And the sun is shining on the hills, on the hills

Where once the cold and bitter frost it froze all life away

And I feel Your Spirit coming close, coming close

And it warms this aching body, and fills me through and through

Oh, I need You

Lord, I want You

Lord, I open my heart to You

(V2)

Oh Jesus won't You stay with me, stay with me

I long to have You closer still, and feel You by my side

These empty dreams that we chase for, what are they for

I long for us to know our Fathers waiting, waiting for us

Oh, I need You

Lord, I want You

Lord, I open my heart to You

(CH)

I sing for joy, that You are in my life

And Your love it covers me

And I feel, the rushing of Your life

As Your river it flows all over me again

(V3)

Lord come close, I need You now

These bitter chords that hold me tight

I let them go to You

yeah....

There's a calling

There's a Saviour coming

And these gates are open wide

(BRIDGE)

It flows all over me

It's falling, falling down all over me
