I Need You

When I've lost my way
And I don't stop to pray
When my heart no longer seeks your face
When my heart is torn
I see blessing in the thorn
Then my soul is lifted by your grace

I need you, Lord Jesus, in my life
I need you, Lord Jesus, through the bitterness and strife
When the world is dark and lonely, I can't see my way through
I raise my hands to heaven, and you fill my life with truth
I need you

When pain becomes a friend
Christ's love will never end
When my weaknesses show God stronger
When life's trials come my way
In Jesus' arms I'll stay
I will bless you when you give or take away

I need you, Lord Jesus, in my life
I need you, Lord Jesus, through the bitterness and strife
When the world is dark and lonely, I can't see my way through
I raise my hands to heaven, and you fill my life with truth
I need you

When my soul is dry
When I seek you asking why
When my broken heart can't hold on much longer
When people's hearts rejoice
As they turn back to the Lord
That is when we need you Lord Jesus
This is when I need you Lord Jesus

I need you, Lord Jesus, in my life
I need you, Lord Jesus, through the bitterness and strife
When the world is dark and lonely, I can't see my way through
I raise my hands to heaven, and you fill my life with truth
I need you
