I Need You

Song: I Need You
Artist: Jeni Varnadeau

Year: 1998
Label: Pamplin
Genre: Pop

I can’t make it on my own
Can’t live all alone
I’m helpless by myself
You lend me a hand
Give me strength to stand
and somehow get me through
It’s apparent to me
(and I’m sure you can see)
I’m a woman in need

Chorus:
I need more time
I need more money
I need more advice
I need more love
I need another chance
an open hand
I need more grace
and a pretty face
I need happiness
I need an escape
I need more peace
I need to feel safe
And what this all comes down to
Is I need YOU

I try to do it well
But know that I would fail
If you weren’t there to help
You, you show me where to go
and say what I need to know
and you know how I feel
It’s apparent in me
(and I’m sure you can see)
I’m a woman in need

Chorus: I need more time, I need more money
I need more advice, I need more love
I need another chance, an open hand
I need more grace and a pretty face
I need security, stablility
I need more space, and I need more sleep
And what this all comes down to
Is I need YOU

I see again that in our culture everything is screaming from everywhere that we need something other than God. I know these thoughts race through my mind all the time. I need more time, money, advice, etc and then I will be complete. The catch is that these thoughts just repeat themselves until I am worn out and have to turn again to Jesus. Jesus is our all in all. God please help me to seek first your kingdom.
