How much do I need you, Lord?
For every sin, iniquity, and transgression
without You, I’d be in despair.
For every thought, every action,
every misconception, accusation, and passion.
For every stolen item or even the idea thereof.
For the anger, for not treating my neighbor as I should.
I need You, Lord. I see
every hour, every minute, every second of every day.
For the omission and the commission
for the times, I’ve said no when it should have been a yes,
and the times I’ve said yes when it should have been a no
As I grow and walk with You, I see more and more
I need you, Lord. Everything else is a bore.
Without Your love, Your grace, Your embrace,
there’d be no joy, contentment, or solace.
How much do I need You, Lord?
Your conviction, correction, and consolation?
I cannot count. I cannot measure, I cannot fathom
for the filthiness, temptation, and the will, all of them,
none of it thrills through Your lens,
it only leads to sorrow that never ends.
How much do I need You, Lord?
The answer to this question is known only to You
but one day, I’ll look back and see just how much it was
that I truly needed You.
