Chorus, Robert Lowry and Annie S. Hawks (I Need Thee 1872)
Lyrics
Verse
Lord, I am struggling for meaning in this life
Drifting toward all the things that call for compromise
How could I turn my back on You, for so long?
When I know be-side You, is where I be-long
Pre-chorus
Oh for so long, tried to do this on my own
Verse 2
Oh Lord-- I need You; can’t do this on my own
Need You to breathe life in-to these dry bones
I’ll follow You down the path; I’ll follow Your lead
Don’t know - what lies ahead but on You I will lean
Pre-chorus
Oh for so long, I didn’t have a song
Chorus
I need You, oh, I need You; Ev'ry hour I need You;
Oh, bless me now, my Savior, I come to You.
Verse 3
Lord, I feel You coming down to meet me where I am
Even in the darkness, You see this frightened man
Keep me from giving in to thoughts of despair
Bind up my heart, Lord; this is my constant prayer
Music Solo
Chorus
I need You, oh, I need You; Ev'ry hour I need You;
Oh, bless me now, my Savior, I come to You.
