i need you lyrics

Wide open my life is now
I hide no more behind the mask
And what you see is what I am
It?s reality

For too long I walked alone
I tried to prove that I was strong
But now that part of me is gone
And I am free, free to be

I need you and there is nothing I must prove
For you are a friend who loves at all times
I thank God for you
I love you, I need you

I think back to all the times
That you have shown the meaning
Of love and grace
Your embrace inspires me to be better

I need you and there is nothing I must prove
For you are a friend who loves at all times
I thank God for you
I love you

I need you and there is nothing I must prove
For you are a friend who loves at all times
I thank God for you
I love you, I need you

And now I want to be
The one who loves you like you love me
And comforts you with the comfort
I?ve been given from above

Now I?m giving you my love 'cause

I need you and there is nothing I must prove
For you are a friend who loves at all times
I thank God for you
I love you, I need you
