I Need To Hear From You Lyrics


I've been away for a little while
And I don't like where it takes me
Out of touch I'm goin' out of my mind
It's times like these that really break meSo here I am all alone
I'm waiting on You
Just a word will get me throughI need to hear from You
Before this night is through
I need to hear from You
So I'm waitin', waitin' just to hear from You
Woh, yeah
(Yeah)My whole world is turnin' upside down
When I'm lackin' in direction
I don't care if it takes all night
I need to feel Your sweet affectionSo let me hear words of life
I'm lost without You
Speak to me the way You doI need to hear from You
Before this night is through
I need to hear from You

So I'm waitin', waitin' just to hear from YouI've been here in this place before
And You're not the one to blame
(Ohh)
No, I need to know what You have in store
So I'm on my knees callin' out Your name, wohI need to hear from You
Deep inside my heart
I need to hear from You
Just a still small voice is gonna get me throughI need to hear from You
So I'm waitin', waitin' just to hear from You
(I need to hear from You, from You)
I need to hear from You
Oh, I need to hear from You
So I'm waitin', waitin' just to hear from You
(I need to hear from You)
From You
I need to hear from You
(I need to hear from You)
So I'm waiting, waiting just to hear from You
(I need to hear from You)
I need to hear from You

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
There is more than one artist with this name:

1) Petra is a Christian Rock band formed in 1972 by Bob Hartman, Bill Glover, John DeGroff, and Greg Hough. "Petra" means "rock" in NT Greek, making the band name a triple pun. Rising from the jesus music movement, and initially signed to [recordlabel]Myrrh Records[/recordlabel], they fought to gain acceptance and recognition in a church culture that at the time believed rock music to be off-limits. Over time they eventually won over most of their critics, thanks to a steady approach and some solid adult contemporary airplay hits like "The Coloring Song," outside of their usual rock fare. By the mid-80's, when lead singer Greg X. Volz left the band and was replaced by John Schlitt, Petra had solidified their place as the foremost Christian rock band in the industry with a string of hit albums and singles and strong touring. The release of Petra Praise: The Rock Cries Out marked a turn towards modern-sounding worship music that would soon explode into the modern worship movement.

Petra was nominated for and won numerous Grammy and Dove Awards. In 1991, after the release of their acclaimed Beyond Belief record, Petra became the first rock band ever to win for Group of the Year at the Dove Awards. They were also the first Christian rock band to be inducted into the Gospel Music Hall of Fame.

For three decades Petra continued to produce albums despite changes in their line-up as well as the genre and market. On May 24th, 2005 Petra announced their retirement after 33 years of ministry. They recorded one of their final performances in Franklin, Tennessee to release it as their last album, Farewell. Their last performance finished in the early hours of January 1, 2006 in Murphy, North Carolina. Bob Hartman and John Schlitt continue to tour under the moniker II Guys from Petra.
