I Need Thee Songtext
von Big Al

So much in my life has been going on
You keep looking at my smile and thinking nothing′s wrong
You've been seeing all my shows and think my money′s long
Truth be told, this past year tried to steal my song
Tried to steal my joy, my peace, and mental strength
Even my voice, my love, and my happiness
Who knows why the caged bird sings
Well, let me open up my mouth and let my freedom ring
Ring, rule, and reign over every part of me
Especially the parts that you never see
You never see the tears behind the laughter
The brain that is scattered nor the heart that's been shattered
All you see is the big dude who gives the best hugs
But did you ever think that same dude is in need of love
And I don't mean a single post on the gram
I mean when Queen took a bullet and never let go of his hand


I need Thee oh I need Thee
Lord said I really need Ya
Lord I need You
Said I need Thee oh I need Thee
Lord I really need You
Lord I need You

Have you ever seen a grown man cry
Have you ever heard a grown man lie
Have you ever sent a text or made a call and got no reply
Place an X by all that apply
I placed and X on my life
Cause nothing is constant it′s all variables
And sometimes why is unbearable
See, life was simple at the ABC′s but it started stinging around the time of the birds and the bees
That's when I was told I was smelling myself
What′s that aroma
Apparently I haven't stopped sniffin′
I had the 'Rona
That Tuesday night with the chills I thought I was a goner
But not like Tamir, Ahmaud, Sandra, or Breonna
I still shutter when I think of how He lost his life
And how the judgments flew of what was wrong and what was right
His suffocation changed the world - a man of color died
And I ain′t scared to say His name it was Jesus Christ


Lord I need You
I need you
Right now Jesus, Right now
Lord I need You
Said I need, I need You right now
Lord I need you

I need Thee
Like the oceans need the water
I need You
Like the stars need the sky
I need You
With these tears in my eyes
I need You
Lord please save us before we die
This song is your image bearer's cry

I need Thee, oh, I need Thee
Every hour I need Thee
Oh Bless me now my Saviour
I come to Thee
