I encourage you to check out the version if this song with lyrics. I wrote the music back when I was 15 and since then (30 years now wow!!) it's been about 4 different songs but my latest version completes the song and its very dear to my heart.

Redeemed Instrumental

Looking at the road ahead
Coming to a bend
I may lose a lover here
I may lose a friend

If that is what happens
If that should come to pass
I may not be able to
Withstand the blast

I need you,  I need you
I need you like the clouds need the sky
I need you and I’m not going to let you get away
Cuz I love you and I’m willing to fight

Looking at these circumstances
Staring in my face
Makes me blink, turns my head
Makes me look away

If this was my Alamo
A last stand metaphor
The meaning clearly points to this:
I need you even more!

I need you, I need you
I need you like the clouds need the sky
I need you and I’m not going to let you get away
Cause I love you and I’m willing to fight

I won't be the one that let's you get away
And in spite of all this pain I will stand
But I will be the one who loves you to the end
More than just a friend, I'm your man

I need you,  I need you
I need you like the clouds need the sky
I need you and I’m not going to let you get away
Cause I love you and I’m willing  to fight
I love you, I love you
I love you and I’m willing to fight

Fight for You

Verse 1
Water from a rock
In a dry and weary land 
Miracles of provision
On a burning desert sand

Wherever you may be
If you cry out there to Him
He will answer you
Have no fear within	

Chorus
Water for the thirsty soul
He graciously supplies
Manna for the hungry ones
Like you and me
He will provide

In love He will come to you
You never left His sight
Be assured our heavenly Father
Knows and will provide
Water from the Rock

Verse 2
Safety from the storms
Of life, He brings relief
To simply smooth the way
As we pass through times of grief

Friendship with our God
Who knows our fears and flaws
We can trust He’ll provide
Exactly what we need because 

Chorus
Water for the thirsty soul
He graciously supplies
Manna for the hungry ones
Like you and me
He will provide

In love He will come to you
You never left His sight
Be assured our heavenly Father
Knows and will provide
Water from the Rock

Bridge
It’s You we need
Beyond the things we see
You provide through all our lives 
The things we really need
We really need

Chorus
Water for the thirsty soul
He graciously supplies
Manna for the hungry ones
Like you and me He will provide
  
In love He will come to you
You never left His sight
Be assured our heavenly Father
Knows and will provide

Outro
Water from the Rock
Water from the Rock
Water from the Rock
He will provide
Oh yes He will
Water from the Rock
Water from the Rock
Water from the Rock He will provide
Oh yes He will
Water from the Rock
Water from the Rock
Water from the Rock

Water from the Rock

New album 'Parabolic' coming soon

A man had two sons, the youngest one said: 'I am going' 
'Give me my share of property that is coming' 
He soon went away, squandered his wealth in wild living
Fell into need, longed for pig's feed, he had nothing

'The servants of my father have abundance 
Yet here I perish hungry and alone 
I will arise and go back in repentance 
And say that I have sinned, I'm not his son.' 

I'm coming home... 
I'm coming home... 

But in the distance, you saw me 
Before I could say I was wrong 
In compassion, you ran straight towards me 
Kissed me and embraced me as your son 

Dressed in your robe 
Shoes on my feet 
A ring on my hand 
The best food to eat 
Dead but now living 
Lacking for nothing 
I thought I was going 
But now I'm coming home...

Parabolic

Prodigal

Order my steps, O Lord 
Establish the way               
I trust in You with all my heart
I honor Your name
Steady my steps, O Lord
Keep my heart pure
Let me walk in Your promises
Where I'm secure               

Let all things work together for good
He will change those shadows into light
He will bring His presence into every step we take
Comforting our souls, becoming our delight
All things work together for His purposes and His plans
Beyond our understanding at times
He will bring His presence into every step we take
Comforting our souls
Becoming our delight

Establish my steps O Lord
As I try to plan my way
Lead me and guide my feet
For Your namesake
Keep my paths straight, Lord
Keep me upright
Let no temptation hinder my life

If all things work together for good
Then He will change our shadows into light
And He will bring His presence into every step we take
Comforting our soul becoming our delight
All things work together for His purposes and His plan
Beyond our understanding at times
He will bring His presence into every step we take
Comforting our souls 
Becoming our delight
He’s comforting our souls 
Becoming our delight

Every Step

Love is as strong as death (Song 8)

Verse 1
Living God I come to you
Supplying me my daily food
Living God…   I come to You
Providing me our daily bread
The food of life.  That’s what you said
Living God…  I know it’s true 
Chorus 
Living God you have made a way for me
Through the sacrifice of Jesus on that tree
Because of Him I am a new creation
Because of Him I can say that
You are the living God!

Verse 2
God of life I lift You up
What You provide is quite enough
Living God…   I lift You up
Giving me what I need most
Sustaining grace to keep me close
To Your side…   Living God

Chorus 
Living God you have made a way for me
Through the sacrifice of Jesus on that tree
Because of Him I am a new creation
Because of Him I can say that
You are the living God!

Bridge
God of the life…   You have given to me
Born from the water and Spirit— I’m complete
And the life... I now live… in the body… I live
By faith in the living God 

Outro 
Living God you have made a way for me 
Through the sacrifice of Jesus on that tree
Because of Him I am a new creation
Because of Him I can say that
You are the living God!

Living God

Wouldn't You Love To Know?

01 Wouldn't You Love To Know

Here I am again
on my knees with you
broken by this burden I give to You
I should be all alone
But You have led me here
A sinner I am found
yet    held  so dear
Chorus
Looking out towards the doorway  looking in
Looking out towards the doorway looking in    
looking out towards the doorway
Searching deep within    
You show my heart forgiven
 once again 
Verse 2
Here I am again
I stand in awe of You
faithful love unending
with everything You do        
I fail You everyday
unworthy of Your grace
Humbled by the mercy I  find      in    You
Repeat Chorus
Bridge
You say its not too late  You won’t let me go
You’re blood has made the way and I have been made whole
repeat chorus
