Without you, I am baseless; With you, I am rock solid Without you, I cannot; But with you, I surely can Without you, I am faceless; With you, my name is on your hand.* With you, I'm loved and valued; Without you, I'm poor and needy Without you, I am aimless and withdrawn With you, I have a plan and a purpose Without you, I am Homeless With you, I am not Fatherless Because of you, I need not roam Because of you, I have a home Without you, I am restless With you, I am at peace Without you, I am useless With you, I am useful Without you, I am undesired and worthless Because of you, I am desired and prized With you, I am rich and needed Without you, I am weak, torn, and worn With you, I move mountains Lord, my need for you is endless 08232017PSContest,Why Do I Need The Lord, James Lee *Isaiah 49:15-17
