Jesus, how I need you.
Without you, I'd fall to pieces
Already dashed to bits,
I'd shatter if you weren't holding me together

You wanted me to love you first,
And I chose to love myself
I chose to treasure the gifts you gave
Instead of your most precious self.

Jesus, how I need you!
Your blood is the only refuge
From the sting of judgment
And the scourge of shame

For sins that I have wrought and blossomed.

And you, my only joy today
Nothing to distract.
When my eyes leave you,
I am utterly lost

Finally, you showed me your face...
Finally, I start to see
How I need you
How I always needed you.

How I always will need you, my Lord...
