I Need You

This week God is really reminding me of how much I need Him. I can’t make this orphanage happen by myself. I can’t rely on people to make it happen, because people sometimes let me down.

 

We all have needs that are so great, they can only be met by a Sovereign God. Needs can be an overwhelming thing. The needs of a third world country are staggering. The needs of this project are tremendous. These are needs that only God can meet.

 

A big need for the Hope Hill project is direction. God is teaching me that I need to give it all over to Him. This song sums up a lot of what I’m learning and crying out to God about right now; I need Him so desperately! How thankful I am that He never leaves my side.

 

“The Lord himself goes before you and will be with you; He will never leave you nor forsake you. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged.” Deuteronomy 31:8

 

Everybody's got a story to tell

Everybody's got a wound to be healed

I want to believe there's beauty here

Cause oh, I get so tired of holding on

I can't let go, I can't move on

I want to believe there's meaning here

 

How many times have you heard me cry out

"God please take this"?

How many times have you given me strength to

Just keep breathing?

Oh I need you

God, I need you now

 

Standing on a road I didn't plan

Wondering how I got to where I am

I'm trying to hear that still small voice

I'm trying to hear above the noise

 

How many times have you heard me cry out

"God please take this"?

How many times have you given me strength to

Just keep breathing?

Oh I need you

God, I need you now

 

Oh I walk,

Oh I walk through the shadows

And I, I am so afraid

Please stay, please stay right beside me

With every single step I take

 

How many times have you heard me cry out?

How many times have you given me strength?

 

How many times have you heard me cry out

"God please take this"?

How many times have you given me strength to

Just keep breathing?

Oh I need you

God, I need you now

 

I need you now

Oh I need you

God, I need you now

I need you now

I need you now
