Lyrics
When I need strength I note the fortitude of trees.
When I need peace I seek the rolling of the seas.
When I need love, I reach my arms out up above and sing
alleluia, alleluia, alleluia.
When I need hope I join the rising of the sun.
When I need faith I find the rivers where they run.
When I need love I reach my arms out up above and sing
alleluia, alleluia, alleluia.
When I need truth I climb the rocky mountain tow'rs.
When I need grace I breathe the essence of the flow'rs.
When I need love I reach my arms out up above and sing
alleluia, alleluia, alleluia.
Alleluia (several times)
