Lord Jesus I Need You

Lord Jesus, I need your salvation

To rescue me from my sins.

Lamb of God take away my transgressions

Please cleanse me and wash me again.

Lord Jesus, I need a physician

Who knows how to heal broken bones.

Disappointments and failures compounded

Have wounded and taken their toll.

Lord Jesus, I need strength to press on

Weak knees are collapsed, arms hang low.

Help me rise once again to the battle

To live holy, to conquer my foes.

Lord Jesus, I need rain from heaven

Flow over the withering vine.

Restore and renew deep within me

Let my voice sing again songs of Zion.

Lord Jesus, I need your direction

To show me the way I should go.

Time is short, and I want to be faithful

You're the shepherd, your voice help me follow.

Lord Jesus, I need you above all

Who else can compare, there is none.

Please finish in me what you started

Stay close by me 'til my work is done.
