How I Need Jesus
How I Need Jesus!
For many years, my life was
an embarrassment.
Filled with hopelessness, worry
and discouragement.
There were many things,
I thought I enjoyed.
Everything just left in me
a large, empty void.
Many nights, I would
cry myself to sleep.
Knowing the “hole” in my life,
was very deep.
Then one day, I called out to God!
I wasn’t sure if he'd listen.
My family, my old church,
I was now missin'.
My family prayed for me
for so many years.
I would often bring them
embarrassment and tears.
Jesus… I tried everything else!
I want to come back to you!
I need you now Jesus! I really do!
Please come into my heart
and cleanse me within...
Set me free from my addictions
and every sin.
I know that you will never
let go of my hand.
My whole life, on your word,
I shall stand.
Only you can satisfy the emptiness in my soul.
For in you, I’m made complete,
satisfied, and whole!
