I Want To Need You

How often do I find myself trying to do things out of my own strength, and fail to depend on my God? It’s more times than not. When things are smooth sailing in my life, I tend to lean on Him less. I think to myself, “I’ve got this.” When in reality, I don’t. Because as soon as chaos in life hits me, I run back into His arms (and running to His arms is good), but I don’t want that to be the only time I run into his arms. I want it to be a daily action that I take. I desire to wake up every morning eager to say, “God, I want to need You.” – knowing that I am NOT strong enough to make it on my own.

"I Want To Need You"

Honestly

When I'm not in need

I rely purely on myself

But the chaos comes

And my strength becomes

As empty as a well

If my pride had its way

I'd be alone and afraid

But, I don't want to be

Strong enough

To make it on my own

You're water to my desert heart

Find me in the deepest dark

I want to need You

Need You

Need You

Dry land, to plant my feet

Always safe and rescuing

I want to need You

Need You

Need You

Father, I need You

Need You

Need You

I've come to love

The feeling of

Being broken at Your feet

‘Cause the push and pull

Is only bearable

When I'm on my knees

Only you could change
The alone and afraid
