IPOD Add For June

The latest add to my IPod is the song I Need You, by The Swift. The melody is simple and yet beautiful, however the words make the impact of this song. The lyrics of I Need You are written below:

My heart is restless in me
My wings are all worn out
I'm walking in the wilderness
And I cannot get outI need
You, Oh, I need
YouBlessed Savior come
I need You, Oh, I need
YouFill the every longing in my soul
-------------------------------------

Chorus

Oh, how I need You, Lord

I need Your perfect Word

With tearful eyes to see

The sin that I afford

I need to weep and prayer

For all the thousand ways

That I have failed

------------------------------------

You just today

My bed is soaked with sadness

My sadness has no end

A downward spiral of despair

That I keep falling in

I need You, Oh, I need You

To You my soul shall fly

I need You, Oh,

I need You

Yaweh, how I love

You more than life

--------------------

CHORUS

Your silence is like death to me

So won't You hear my desperate plea

--------------------

Today my soul is soaring

Way over mountains high

Though I can see the valleys

They're all just passing by

It's not that I am stronger

Look at my feeble wings

But I've been lifted higher

Yaweh's lifted me in

His own strength

--------------------

Oh, how I love You, LordI love

Your perfect Word

With tearful eyes to see

The God who always will endure

Now I will celebrate

For all the thousand ways

That You have shown me grace

And made my heart in grace to stay

You've made my heart in grace to stay

Lord, make my heart in grace to stay

--------------------

I need You, Oh, I need You

I think these words speak so deeply to me because they reflect the sorrowful status of us as man (or woman) living in a world affected by the original fall of man, first described in Genesis 3 Paul writes in Romans 7:15

I do not understand what I do. For what I want to do I do not do, but what I hate I do.

It’s this recognition that we’re not worthy to approach God and our faith in Christ is the only thing that allows us to be acceptable to God. As the chorus of the songs says,

Oh, how I need You, LordI need Your perfect WordWith tearful eyes to see The sin that I affordI need to weep and prayerFor all the thousand waysThat I have failed You just today
