I tried to make it on my own,
It was a failure from the start.
I thought that I was all I needed.
But I soon had a hardened heart.
Now I've been gone for so long,
But I need to see your light.
Will you pick me up? Pick me up?
I need your strength tonight.
Jesus, I need You.
I need your love every day.
Come to me, embrace my heart.
I'm falling on my knees to say,
Jesus, I need You.
This world has got me in its grasp.
I'm struggling every day.
Foolishness is what brought me here.
All I can do is bow and pray.
Oh I've been gone for so long.
But I want to feel your love.
Will you lift me up? Lift me up?
I need to rise above.
Jesus, I need You.
I need your love every day.
Come to me, embrace my heart.
I'm falling on my knees to say,
Jesus, I need You.
I need your love every day.
Come to me, embrace my heart.
I'm falling on my knees to say,
Jesus, I need You.
