13. Lord, I Need You

Sunday August 9,2026

Lord I come, I confess

Bowing here, I find my rest

Without You, I fall apart

You're the one that guides my heart

Lord, I need You, oh, I need You

Every hour, I need You

My one defense, my righteousness

Oh God, how I need You

Where sin runs deep, Your grace is more

Where grace is found is where You are

And where You are, Lord, I am free

Holiness is Christ in me

Lord, I need You, oh, I need You

Every hour, I need You

My one defense, my righteousness

Oh God, how I need You

So teach my song to rise to You

When temptation comes my way

And when I cannot stand, I'll fall on You

Jesus, You're my hope and stay

Lord, I need You, oh, I need You

Every hour, I need You

My one defense, my righteousness

Oh God, how I need You

You're my one defense, my righteousness

Oh God, how I need You

My one defense, my righteousness

Oh God, how I need You

“Every hour I need You…”

This song is a simple prayer—stripped of performance, filled with honesty.

It reminds us that dependence on God is not weakness—it is the foundation of strength.

We don’t just need Him in crisis. We need Him in every moment.

Scripture: John 15:5 — “Apart from Me you can do nothing.”

Ask yourself:

  • Where do you tend to rely on yourself instead of God?
  • What does daily dependence look like practically?
  • How can you cultivate a rhythm of needing Him?

Lord, I Need You (Dependence on God)
