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
