Holy One, I Need a Father

Here are the lyrics to two songs we are using in our Mime performance, and they have become songs that my heart has absorbed recently. 

Because of what Jesus did, we can run to God as our Father.  We have been forgiven of our ugly sins, and now have a special place in Heaven with our Father.  Until then, we need to constantly ask for our Father to fill us with His Holy Spirit.  He is the Holy One, and we can't do anything in this life without Him. 

Ask our Father, whom we need daily, to fill you up. 

:I Need a Father:

Hold me somebody
Don't let me be alone
Love me, stay with me
I am dying to be known
My heart cries out

I need a Father
Whose love will never fail me
A friend like no other
Whose trusted arms will hold me
I need a Father

I am wounded
But I tuck the pain away
Free me, heal me
I don't want to be afraid
My heart cries out

Here's my heart
Be tender, please
Let me know your love for me
Here's my heart
I'm on my knees
I will trust
'Cause I believe

You are my Father
Your love will never fail me
A friend like no other
Your trusted arms will hold me
You are my Father

:Holy One:

Face to the ground, I'm not proud
Of all You must see when You look at me
I tremble at first, as You wash the dirt
The dirt from my feet
And I see my need for Thee

You lift me up, holy One, holy One
When I but come, You're enough
You're enough
You fill me up with Your love,
With Your love
To You I run, holy One, holy One

All other noises fade away
Like all of the fear when Your voice I hear
You're beckoning me to come and just be
A child at Your feet
Seeing my need for Thee

You lift me up, holy One, holy One
When I but come, You're enough
You're enough
You fill me up with Your love,
With Your love
To You I run, holy One, holy One

You're enough to satisfy
When the world has left me only dry
Enough to save my life
When the world has left me here to die

You lift me up, holy One, holy One
When I but come, You're enough
You're enough
You fill me up with Your love,
With Your love
To You I run, holy One, holy One
