I HAVE NEED OF THEE
FROM THE BEGINNING I HAD NEED OF THEE
FOR THOU WAST THE ONE WHO CREATED ME
I HAVE NEED OF THEE EACH HOUR OF EVERY DAY
I HAVE NEED OF THEE WITH EVERY BREATH I TAKE
IN WIDE OPEN SPACES WITH PEOPLE ALL AROUND
OR ALL ALONE IN MY SECRET PLACE
A PLACE WHERE NO ONE KNOWS BUT ME
IT DOESN’T MATTER WHERE I AM
FOR I HAVE NEED OF THEE
IN TIMES OF JOY AND HAPPINESS
IN TIMES OF TRIAL AND PAIN
IN TIMES OF HUMILITY AND GRATITUDE
I NEED THEE JUST THE SAME
AS I STRIVE TO DO THY WILL
I KNOW THY HAND IS STRETCHED OUT STILL
FOR WHEN I’M IN MY HOUR OF NEED
THOU ART ALWAYS THERE FOR ME
FOR THOU HAST MOURNED AS I HAVE MOURNED
THOU HAST LAUGHED AS I HAVE LAUGHED
AND THOU HAST WEPT AS I HAVE WEPT
FOR WHETHER AWAKE OR SOUND ASLEEP
OH, HOW I HAVE NEED OF THEE!
AN INSTRUMENT IN THY HANDS I DESIRE TO BE
TO ACCOMPLISH THE WORK THOU HAST FOR ME
I CALL UPON THEE TO LEAD ME HOME
UNTO THY PRESENCE WHERE I BELONG
FOR WHILE IN THIS LIFE AND THE NEXT TO COME
I WILL PRAISE THEE IN JOYFUL SONG
FATHER IN HEAVEN, OH, HOW I LOVE THEE!
I PRAY WITH MY HEART THAT THOU HAST NEED OF ME
JUST AS WITH EVERY HOUR
I HAVE NEED OF THEE
