[Chorus]
You alone are what my soul needs
You know the thirst is taking over
Hardly breathe I'm in urgent need
You know that this is taking over

The thirst is taking over
Hold me down, hold me down 
Drip it on my tongue
And my convulsions stop 
Thirst for love, thirst for your love
I could swallow, your beauty whole

[Chorus]

Running out, times running out
Searching for the one, who can conquer me
I'm gonna scream aloud throw it down
Chrash in the sweet obsession of you
I'm gonna swim and drown in the wake of you

[Chorus]

The thirst is taking over
I want to taste it
I need to taste it
Deep in my Savior's arms

[Chorus]

I want to drink you in 
I am drinking you in 
I want to drink you in 

Hardly breathe I'm in urgent need 
You know the thirst is taking over
The thirst is taking over

I want to taste it 
I need to taste it 
Deep in my Savior's arms
