Uriah Hamilton - I Need Your Love

I need you when I’m alone
And my heart is a dark, friendless street
In a cruel, compassionless city;
I need you because hope
Vanishes like a waking dream
When I lie in my restless bed
Without you breathing next to me;
I need your voice encouraging me
To yet see God despite personal weaknesses
Bringing me to my knees
With habits of defeat;
I need your love
Because this cold survival
Has run such a barren course
That I no longer recognize myself
As a human being that a woman would touch
And bring into her home.

Uriah Hamilton
