Necesito
Bryan Duncan Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Hasta lo más rico de cualquier mansión
Todo el mundo está en necesidad
Intentado hallar la mejor protección
Meintras tanto en mi casa
Yo solicito a Dios
Me perdone peus yo necio soy
Da Su gracia y luz
Yo de El me alejo
Cuando necesito mucho más de El
Y me siento sin hogar
Lastimado y sin paz
Y lloro
Necesito
El amor de Jesucristo
Me dijeron que en todo ganaría yo
Y llegué a exigirme siempre algo más
Nunca muestras di de sentir dolor
Y mostré una sonrisa en ves de llorar
Minetras lucha mi alma
Entre el bien y al mal
Mientras una salida intento encontrar
Sé muy bien que si caigo
Me han de deshechar
Que de mi flaqueza se enseñorearán
Pues el alma que duda puede endurecer
Por lo tanto recuerda
Su gracia debes reconcocer
Y me siento sin hogar
Lastimado y sin paz
Y lloro
Necesito
Y me siento sin hogar
Lastimado y sin paz
Y lloro
Necesito
El amor de Jesucristo
Y me siento sin hogar
Lastimado y sin paz
Y lloro
Necesito
In the song "Necesito," Bryan Duncan describes the universal need for love and protection. He explains that everyone, regardless of their socioeconomic status, is searching for something or someone to fill the void in their lives. Duncan confesses that he is guilty of trying to fill that void with something other than God, despite the fact that God has shown him grace and light throughout his life. He feels lost and in need of Christ's love.
Duncan also addresses the pressure to always appear strong and happy. He admits that he has pressured himself to always come out on top and hide his pain. However, he realizes that this is not healthy and that he needs to recognize the grace of God and his need for Christ's love in order to truly find peace.
The repeated chorus "Necesito el amor de Jesucristo" (I need the love of Jesus Christ) emphasizes the message of the song, which is that we all need something greater than ourselves to fill us up and give us peace.
