lyrics

I need You, precious Jesus! For I am full of sin;
My soul is dark and guilty, my heart is dead within;
I need the cleansing fountain, where I can always flee,
The blood of Christ most precious, the sinner’s perfect plea.

Chorus:
O, I need You, how I need You.
I’ll never know the depths to which
I need You.

I need You, blessed Jesus! For I am very poor;
A stranger and a pilgrim, I have no earthly store;
I need the love of Jesus to cheer me on my way,
To guide my doubting footsteps, to be my strength each day.

I need You, tender Jesus! I need a friend like You;
A friend to soothe my sorrows, to pour my heart out to.
I need the heart of Jesus to feel each anxious care,
To tell my ev’ry want to, and all my sorrows share.

I need You, glorious Jesus! And hope to see You soon,
In majesty and power, and seated on Your throne:
There, with Your blood-bought children, my joy will ever be,
To sing Your praise, Lord Jesus, with You eternally!
