about

This is the second-oldest song on the album, written in 2004 at Franciscan University of Steubenville. I’m glad it finally made it onto an album!

lyrics

track 09 – I need love (1 Corinthians 13:4)

walking all around as I’m staring at the ground
my eyes are cast down as this shame is overwhelming
the world is shades of grey as my soul’s too weak to pray
no one can save the day as this pain is overwhelming
but I need love

love is patient, love is kind, love come overwhelm my mind
let me seek and let me find this love
I’m looking for an unchanging rock, my life’s a storm and I’m being tossed
You’ve come to seek and save the lost, my Love…I need love.

all I feel is emptiness, peering through the looking glass
nothing there is staring back, I’m hollow and I’m empty
but there’s a hunger deep within for something that would fill me in
I want what I don’t comprehend but love is so fulfilling
and I need love

this existential mess which is causing my distress
is trying to impress the part of me that’s basest
but I have heard a call and I’m gonna risk it all
for your love that’s sure to fall and take me up to higher places
and I need love
