I need You

i needed you on my very first day,

you gave me your breath, before i can even remember

i needed you as i grew and i was bruised

some wounds you are still healing

you gave me your love over and over and over

you prove to be enough

i needed you

i needed you yesterday when i was weak, i was afraid

when i dropped my arms in the middle of the fight,

you still defended me

it's compelling, because i try to deserve you

i cry because i don't understand your grace;

because one day i will see your face

i have always needed you,

even when i didn't see it

even when i don't deserve it

you remain true

remain true

every time i fall, you stay the same

every time i fail, you remain

all my joy comes from you

so, write truth upon my arm; upon my heart

let it be always before me

hide me in you

hide me in you

because, honestly i am afraid

there are things i want, things i hate

open my hands

empty my hands

empty me so i can be filled up with you

all these things, don't let me love them more than you

all these things, let them fade

you will remain

until all my heart is yours, you deserve it all

you have committed yourself to me for a lifetime and beyond-for all eternity

i need you every time i question all that is true

when i question myself

you even allow me to question you in my frail humanness

i am nothing without your hands that created me

without your right hand that sustains

without your breath in my lungs

without you fighting for me

you have committed yourself to me for a lifetime and beyond-for all eternity

Jesus, how i need you

"You are Holy, Holy, Holy

God most high and God most worthy,

you are Holy, Holy, Holy - Jesus, You are.

Jesus You are"

"I need thee, O I need thee;  every hour I need thee;  O bless me now, my Savior, I come to thee."
