I Need Thee Today Songtext
von Matthew Smith

I need Thee, 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

I need Thee
I need Thee
Jesus I need Thee today

I need Thee, 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 and stay


I need Thee
I need Thee
Jesus I need Thee today

I need Thee, blessed Jesus
I need a friend like Thee
A friend to soothe and pity
A friend to care for me
I need the heart of Jesus
To feel each anxious care
To tell my every trial
And all my sorrows share

I need Thee
I need Thee
Jesus I need Thee today

I need Thee, blessed Jesus
And hope to see Thee soon
Encircled with the rainbow
And seated on Thy throne
There, with Thy blood-bought children
My joy shall ever be
To sing Thy praise, Lord Jesus
To gaze, My Lord, on Thee


I need Thee
I need Thee
Jesus I need Thee today

I need Thee
I need Thee
Jesus I need Thee today
