Losin' The Need For You

© 2002 Jeffrey E. McCaskill. All Rights Reserved.

Well, the winds of change are blowin'
And I've got to heed their call
Too many nights I wondered
If they'd ever come at all.

No, I don't want you to hold me
'Cause I need for you to see
If I stay I'll only hurt you
Just the way that you hurt me. 

CHORUS
You see, I'm gainin'
Gainin' on the truth
But baby, I'm losin'
Losin' the need for you.

Please know that I am grateful
For everything you've done
You dressed my wounds and touched my soul
And helped me find the Son.

But now, they're only memories
And though we've had our share
It's time for me to move on
To the promise held out there.

CHORUS

Gonna roll till God reminds me
To stop and take my rest
But when I do, I'll dream of you
Asleep across my chest.

I'm not leavin' just to hurt you
Someday you'll understand
It's the very thing you loved in me
That leads me by the hand.

CHORUS
