After the first smack of the snooze bar, the radio came on again at 5:36am. This song was just beginning. I’d heard snippets of it many times in the car, but never taken it all in. This was a great way to wake up on on this fifth Monday in Lent.
Verse 1:
F Bb
My heart is restless in me My wings are all worn out
Dm Bb
I’m walking in the wilderness And I cannot get out
C Dm Bb
I need You, Oh, I need You Blessed Savior come
C Bb C
I need You, Oh, I need You Fill the every longing of my soul
F C
Oh, how I need You, Lord I need Your perfect Word
Dm Bb Dm C
With tearful eyes to see The sin that I afford
F C
I need to weep and pray For all the thousand ways
Dm Bb Dm C
That I have failed You just today
Verse 2:
F Bb
My bed is soaked with sadness My sadness has no end
Dm Bb
A downward spiral of despair That I keep falling in
C Dm Bb
I need You, Oh, I need You To You my soul shall fly
C Bb C
I need You, Oh, I need You Yahweh, how I love You more than life
Bridge:
Dm Bb F C Dm Bb F C
Your silence is like death to me So won’t You hear my desperate plea
Verse 3:
F Bb
Today my soul is soaring Way over mountains high
Dm Bb
Though I can see the valleys They’re all just passing by
C Dm Bb
It’s not that I am stronger Look at my feeble wings
C Bb C
But I’ve been lifted higher Yahweh’s lifted me in His own strength
F C
Oh, how I love You, Lord I love Your perfect Word
Dm Bb C
With tearful eyes to see The God who always will endure
F C
Now I will celebrate For all the thousand ways
Dm Bb C
That You have shown me grace And made my heart in grace to stay
Bb C Bb C
You’ve made my heart in grace to stay Lord, make my heart in grace to stay
F
I need You, Oh, I need You

My friend wrote this song! I met him at Trinity, his name is Josh Bales. Anyway, I was excited to see this post because this song has meant a lot to me too.
