I walk through the desert, hide from the sun
All that I desire is You
Occasional water cools my thirst
All I that I desire is You

I don't want to live dying on the inside

I breathe so softly, don't feel too content
Apathy whispers and makes me think
Am I just another man whose time went fast

What does it take to be called great
I don't want to live dying on the inside

Because Your love is better than life
Because Your voice heals me inside
Because my soul is satisfied
Because Your love keeps me alive

I cannot be silent, I­m crying out
My soul is cold, my heart is numb
I break from my old self and step into You

You complete what was never enough
Because Your love is better than life
Because Your voice heals me inside
Because my soul is satisfied
Because Your love keeps me alive

Keeps me alive with the strength to speak
This generation is dying to see
Who You are and how You free
Come Lord Jesus come

I've seen lots of dead men walking around

Make my heart alive
Because Your love is better than life
Because Your voice heals me inside
Because my soul is satisfied
Because Your love keeps me alive
