I Need You

Nobody knows the troubles I see

Nobody knows but Jesus

Oh, Lord I (I know, I know, I know I need more)

Everybody wanna piece of pie

They want that satisfaction

They want it guaranteed, homie

Wanna wear that glamorous fashion

Hand print in the hall of fame

Wanna little bit of Grammy action

Wanna walk that carpet, man

Wanna hear those cameras flashing

Better get that ice, that grill, that Caddy, homie

He got the nicest girl, call him daddy

But fact, he lonely

But he look happy, don't he? Dude is a superstar

He's out of that shabby clothing, he's in a souped up car

He's ridin' 26's, but all his soul is lean

Like he's behind in Texas, but he got that shoulder lean

His land is bare and he's bearing guilt

And his skies are gray

He's unfulfilled till he tilts his head

Up to the sky and says

Father, oh, how I need you

I can't do it on my own (Need You, Lord)

I need to see You, so now I see You

You're the only One who saves, the One who heals

I need You more now than then

Lord, I really need You, need You

Father, oh, how I need You

I can't do it on my own

I need to see You, so now I see You

You're the only One who saves, the One who heals

I need You more now than then

Lord, I really need You, need You, need You

Now unto Him who is able to keep us all from fallin'

I know it's hard when the alcoholics and all are ballin'

Wanna find a hole to crawl in, especially in spring or summer

When even the wanksters and gangsters, man, they seem to come up

But I gotta be faithful, my generation's depending on me

It'd be disgraceful to them if I fall like pins in bowling

And I got disciples and a wife who watches my every step

With a mind like memory chips, they hold onto what He says

And He is I, see I need You, gotta practice what I preach

I can't just talk a good game, no, I gotta actually be

And you know your man is weak, but Jesus Christ is strong

So I plant my feet on His solid rock and I sing this song

Father, oh, how I need you

I can't do it on my own

I need to see You, so now I see You (We're so dependent)

You're the only One who saves, the One who heals

I need you more now than then

Lord, I really need you, need you (We can't do this without You, Father)

Father, oh, how I need you

I can't do it on my own

(You knew what we needed, even before we asked)

I need to see You, so now I see You (We flow from Your strength)

You're the only One who saves, the One who heals (In turbulent times)

I need You more now than then (Y'all force your Lord)

Lord, I really need You, need You, need You

Father, we get tired, we need rest for our weary souls

Till we get very old and we're buried in the hole

I'm carrying a load, feel like a cargo train

Sometimes I feel like ASAF, homie, when I almost faint

And I pray for the carnal saints, please help their unbelief

And I pray for the hypocrite, Father, reveal what's underneath

So Satan's under feet, and the Savior's undefeated

We will persevere till the end, until then Your sons are saying

Father, oh, how I need You

I can't do it on my own

I need to see You, so now I see You

You're the only One who saves, the One who heals

I need You more now than then

Lord, I really need You, need You

Father, oh, how I need You

I can't do it on my own

I need to see You, so now I see You

You're the only One who saves, the One who heals

I need You more now than then

Lord, I really need You, need You, need You

Oh, how I need You

I can't do it on my own

I need to see You, so now I see You

You're the only One who saves, the One who heals

I need You more now than then

Lord, I really need You, need You

Father, oh, how I need You

I can't do it on my own

I need to see You, so now I see You

You're the only One who saves, the One who heals

I need You more now than then

Lord, I really need You, need You, need You
