I've seen brothers who hate one another
And lovers who quit on each other
And mothers who are stuck on their own
Daughters don't know that they love her
And fathers who never recover
From mistakes made long ago
I've seen drugs, empty bottles
Take all of the sorrows
Of the man who I once held so close
But I've seen the cross take the burden
Across all the troubles
In other words I've seen the hope
I've seen the ways that the world goes around
I've seen the pain and I've felt the despair
The hate but the thing that I've found
Is the pain makes the blessings apparent
The doubts give the message some clarity
The sounds make us aware of the
Silence and joy, the care and the peace
God let me praise you with the air that I breathe

Cause I need you (yeah, I do Lord)
Jesus, I need You (I need You, lord)
I need You (yeah, I need You, Lord)
Jesus, I need You

I've been feeling so distressed
Feeling all the stress
Dreaming of restless nights
I've been feeling so depressed
Not feeling how I digress
Not breathing as I check the time
In the suffering You're not done with me
When I feel alone You give me company
Feel unlovable but You're in love with me
Calvary enough to cover me
Sending cavalry to catch up with me
When I was going underneath
Oh God how could I ever put into words
This grace that You gave me I could never earn
These graves that You left empty; they're so beautiful
I know that I'll be singing at my funeral

Cause I need you (yeah, I do Lord)
Jesus, I need You (I need You, lord)
I need You (yeah, I need You, Lord)
Jesus, I need You
