|  Need
©2002 Matthew A. Gray
Looking hard in every face
I meet
For that missing piece that will complete the puzzle
Of who I am
Feeling only emptiness and void
The things I thought I once enjoyed leave me hollow
And all alone
How can I find the way back to a place I’ve never been?
The despair that’s always lurking torments me once again
Where can I go? When will I know?
Chorus 1: I need
You, Lord Jesus; I need You here today
I need You every moment; Lord, what else can I say?
I need You today. I need You to stay
I need You, Jesus
As I look across my history
I see the way Your hand held me through the changes
Of my life
Though the road’s been hard, I can’t deny
Your grace has kept me safe and dry in the storms
That surround
Why do I doubt You hear my cries and answer every time?
And how can You be so merciful to forgive me of this crime?
No sin can erase the work of Your grace
Chorus 2: I love
You, Lord Jesus; I love You evermore
I love the peace You give me; You opened up the door
I love You, my Lord. It’s You I live for
I love You, Jesus
And yet temptation comes
again to take my eyes off You.
I don’t want to fall; I don’t want to fail. Please show me what to do
Keep my heart pure. Teach me to endure
Chorus 3: I need
You, Lord Jesus; I need You once again
I need Your Holy Spirit; come and rescue me from sin
I need You within. I need to be cleansed.
I need You, Jesus
