Lord, I Need You

Lord, I Need You - Chris Tomlin

Lord I come, I confess
Bowing here I find my rest
Without You I fall apart
You're the one that guides my heart

Lord, I need You, oh I need You
Every hour I need You
My one defense, my righteousness
Oh God, how I need You

Where sin runs deep, Your grace is more
Where grace is found is where You are
And where You are Lord I am free
Holiness is Christ in me
Yes where You are Lord I am free
Holiness is Christ in me

So teach my song to rise to You
When temptation comes my way
And when I cannot stand I'll fall on You
Jesus You're my hope and stay
And when I cannot stand I'll fall on You
Jesus You're my hope and stay

We sang this in worship last Sunday. I find I sing this song as a prayer throughout the day. I always hoped I'd be mama to lots of little ones. I dreamed about it. I knew it would be hard. I knew it would test my patience and take a lot of energy. I knew my organizational skills would be put to good use. But I never thought about how it would bring me closer to God. Because each day, moment to moment, I realize I can't do this on my own. So this song goes up like a prayer, in the middle of potty training and cleaning up blocks and reading books and making peanut butter and jelly sandwiches again...without You I fall apart...I need You...I'll fall on You...You're my hope...teach my song to rise to You...
