[G] [A] [G]
[A] I was a [D] boy with the high water pants, too shy to go to the dance.
So [Bm] I stayed at home [F#m] wishing on a falling [A] star.
And [D] I listened to the radio and it hit me like a miracle.
When [Bm] I found that I [F#m] could sing and play [A] guitar.
And [G] I finally felt like someone, though [A] my questions still [D] remain.
But [G] I've come to find my answers in [A] the echo of your name.
And Lord, [D] I thirst for you like [Bm] a man in the desert [F#m] needs water to drink.
[A]
Oh, and [D] I cling to you like a drowning sailor [G] trying not to sink.
And [D] I want to trust in your [A] hand of love more [D] than what I feel [G] or think.
[D] I [G] really do.
[A] Oh, I thirst [D] for you.
[G]
[A] [G] [A] [D] Yeah.
[G]
[A] [G] [A] Well, [D] she walked that stage one night.
Oh, and I could feel the lightning strike.
[Bm] Well, it happened just [F#m] the way I always [A]
dreamed.
We [D] got married on a winter's day.
And we discovered along the way that [Bm] to stay in love [F#m] is harder than [A] it seems.
But [G] through all the times we've laughed or cried [A] or let each other [D] down,
[G]
Jesus is the heartbeat of [A] the true love we have found.
And Lord, [D] I thirst for you [Bm] like a man in the desert [F#m] needs water to drink.
[A] Oh, [D] and I cling to you like a drowning sailor [G]
trying not to sink.

Woo-hoo.
[C] Oh, how I thirst [D] for you.
[C] Oh, how I thirst [A] for you.
And [D] when our baby girl arrived, oh, the air seemed electrified.
[Bm] You could almost feel [F#m] the rush of [A] angels' wings.
And [D] when I kissed her tiny face, I stood trembling and amazed.
[Bm] And I understood [F#m] what being happy [A] means.
[G] And I've always prayed from that first day [A] that she will [D] understand
[G] that the gift of life is not complete [A] until she takes your hand.
And Lord, [D] I thirst for you [Bm] like a man in the desert needs [F#m] water to drink.
