Lord I Need You
Matt Maher Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
Where sin runs deep Your grace is more
Where grace is found is where You are
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
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
The song "Lord I Need You" by Matt Maher is a humble and honest prayer that acknowledges human weakness and the need for God's grace and guidance. The first verse sets the tone by confessing the singer's dependence on God to find rest and purpose. Without God, they fall apart and cannot guide their own heart. This recognition continues in the chorus, where the repetition of "Lord, I need You" emphasizes the constant need for God's presence and help. The singer's defense and righteousness come not from their own efforts or merit, but from God alone.
The second verse shifts focus to the contrast between sin and grace. The deeper the sin, the more abundant God's grace. This grace is found where God is present, and where God is present, the singer is free and able to embody holiness through Christ. This acknowledgment of Christ's presence and sacrifice echoes throughout the song, reminding the listener that it is only through Christ that we can be saved and made righteous. The final verse brings these themes together, asking God to teach the singer's song to rise to Him and to be their hope and stay in times of temptation or weakness.

🦋THE GOSPEL OF THE WORD OF ALMIGHTY GOD "the last age in which God is saving man from the imminent destruction of this old world"
"God and Man Enter into Rest Together". ... (In the beginning, God rested. There were no people or anything on earth at that time, and God had not done any work whatsoever. God only began His work of rule when mankind existed and when mankind was done evil. God was taken from His rest because of the wickedness of mankind, and also because of the rebellion of the archangel God was taken from His rest. If God does not defeat Satan and save mankind, who became evil , God cannot enter into rest again. Just as man lacks rest, so does God. The sign of entering into rest is this: Satan has been destroyed; those evil people who join Satan in evil its work has been punished and extinguished; all the forces against God have ceased to exist. God has God's destiny, and man has man's destiny. Rest means to return to the original place of one. Therefore, when God enters He returns to His original place. People will no longer be disobedient to God or fight against God; they will return to the original life of Adam and Eve. These are the respective lives and destinies of God and mankind after they enter into rest. Satan's defeat is an inevitable event in the war between God and Satan. Man's resting place is on earth, and God's resting place is in heaven. God will still be Spirit, while man will still be flesh. While God rests, He will come and appear among the people; while the person rests, he will be led by God to visit heaven and also to enjoy life in heaven. Before God and man entered into rest; those evil individuals who once persecuted God on earth and the enemies who rebelled against Him on earth have been destroyed; they have been destroyed by the great disasters of the last days. Mankind will attain complete salvation, and only then will God's work be fully completed.)
Almighty God said
In the BEGINNING, GOD RESTED. THERE WAS NO PERSON or THING on the EARTH AT THAT TIME, and GOD HAS NOT DONE ANY WORK whatsoever. God only began His work of governance when mankind existed and when mankind became evil. From this point, God did not rest but instead began to busy Himself among mankind. GOD was removed from His REST because of HUMANITY'S EVIL, and also because of the REBELLION of the ARCHANGEL so GOD was removed from His REST. ☀️
If GOD does NOT defeat SATAN and save MANKIND, who has become EVIL, GOD will NEVER enter REST again. As MAN lacks REST, SO DOES GOD. ☀️
When GOD again ENTERS into REST, MAN will also ENTER into REST. The LIFE that is at REST is ONE that has NO WAR, NO IMPURITY, NO lingering unrighteousness. This means NO harrassment by SATAN (here "Satan" refers to opposing forces), EVIL by SATAN, as well as ATTACK by any force opposed to GOD. ALL THINGS OBEY ITS OWN KIND and worship the LORD of CREATION. HEAVEN and EARTH are ABSOLUTELY PEACEFUL. This is the peaceful LIFE of HUMANITY.☀️🙏
When GOD ENTERS INTO REST, NO unrighteousness WILL CONTINUE UNDER THE EARTH, and NO invasion by any OPPOSING FORCES. HUMANITY will also ENTER A NEW scope; THEY WILL NO LONGER BE A HUMAN BEING MADE EVIL BY SATAN, but rather a HUMAN BEING SAVED AFTER SATAN HAS BEEN MADE EVIL. MANKIND'S REST DAY is also GOD'S REST DAY. 🙏☀️
God lost His rest because of mankind's inability to enter into rest; that's not because He used to be restless. ENTERING REST does NOT mean that ALL THINGS will STOP MOVING, or that ALL THINGS will STOP PROGRESSING, nor does it MEAN that GOD will STOP WORKING or MAN will STOP LIVING. THE SIGN OF ENTERING INTO REST IS THIS: SATAN IS DESTROYED; those EVIL PEOPLE who JOINED SATAN in his EVIL WORKS have been PUNISHED and extinguished; ALL FORCES AGAINST GOD CEASED TO EXIST. ☀️
GOD'S ENTERING INTO REST MEANS HE WILL NO LONGER PERFORM HIS WORK OF SAVING HUMANITY. HUMANITY ENTERING REST MEANS THAT ALL HUMANITY WILL LIVE WITHIN THE LIGHT OF GOD and UNDER HIS BLESSINGS; SATAN'S EVIL IS NO LONGER, NOR WILL ANY THING THAT IS NOT RIGHTEOUS. HUMANITY WILL LIVE NORMALLY ON EARTH, and they WILL LIVE UNDER GOD'S CARE. ☀️
WHEN GOD AND MAN ENTER TOGETHER INTO REST, IT WILL MEAN THAT MANKIND IS SAVED and SATAN IS DESTROYED, that GOD'S WORK IN THE MIDST OF MAN IS COMPLETELY FINISHED. ☀️🙏
GOD WILL NO LONGER CONTINUE TO WORK IN THE MIDST OF MAN, and MAN WILL NO LONGER LIVE UNDER SATAN'S COVERAGE. THEREFORE GOD WILL NOT BE BUSY, and MAN WILL NOT BE IN A HURRY; GOD and MAN will ENTER TOGETHER into REST. 🌷🙏
GOD WILL RETURN TO HIS ORIGINAL POSITION, and EVERY PERSON WILL RETURN TO HIS PLACE. This is the DESTINATION that GOD and MAN will live in at the END of GOD'S ENTIRE REIGN. 🙏
GOD has a GOD'S DESTINY, and MAN has a MAN'S DESTINY. While RESTING, GOD WILL CONTINUE TO GUIDE ALL HUMANITY in their LIVES on EARTH. While in the LIGHT of GOD, MAN will WORSHIP the ONE TRUE GOD in HEAVEN. 🙏
GOD WILL NO LONGER LIVE WITH HUMANITY, and MAN WILL NOT BE ABLE TO LIVE WITH GOD IN GOD'S DESTINY. GOD and MAN cannot LIVE WITHIN the same sphere; rather, they BOTH have their OWN corresponding ways of LIVING. GOD is the One who GUIDES ENTIRE HUMANITY, while ENTIRE HUMANITY is the composition of GOD'S GOVERNMENT WORK.
HUMANITY is the LEAD; in ESSENCE, mankind is not like God.
REST means RETURN to one's ORIGINAL PLACE. Therefore, when GOD ENTERS he RETURNS to His ORIGINAL PLACE. GOD WILL NO LONGER LIVE ON EARTH SHARING THE JOY and SUFFERING OF HUMANITY while BEING WITH HUMANITY.
WHEN HUMANITY ENTERS INTO REST, it MEANS that MAN has become a TRUE CREATION; MANKIND WILL WORSHIP GOD FROM UNDER THE EARTH AND HAVE NORMAL HUMAN LIVES. ☀️
PEOPLE WILL NO LONGER BE rebellious to GOD or AGAINST GOD; they will RETURN to the ORIGINAL LIFE of ADAM and EVE. 🙏♥️
THIS is his--his LIVES and DESTINIES of GOD and HUMANITY AFTER they ENTER into REST. SATAN'S DEFEAT IS AN INEVITABLE EVENT IN THE WAR BETWEEN GOD AND SATAN. IN THIS WAY, GOD'S ENTERING INTO REST AFTER PERFECTING HIS WORK OF GOVERNMENT and COMPLETE SALVATION of MAN and ENTERING INTO REST are also UNAVOIDABLE events. MAN'S RESTING PLACE is on EARTH, and GOD'S RESTING PLACE is in HEAVEN. ☀️🙏
While MAN RESTS, he will WORSHIP GOD and also LIVE on EARTH, and while GOD RESTS, He WILL EAT THE REMAINING PART OF HUMANITY; He will LEAD them from HEAVEN, NOT from EARTH. ☀️
GOD will still be SPIRIT, while MAN will still be FLESH. ☀️
GOD and MAN BOTH have their own WAYS OF BREATHING. While GOD RESTS, He will COME and APPEAR IN THE MIDST OF MAN; while MAN RESTS, GOD WILL LEAD him to VISIT HEAVEN and also to ENJOY LIFE in HEAVEN. ♥️🙏
AFTER GOD and MAN ENTER REST, SATAN WILL NOT EXIST ANYMORE, and LIKE SATAN, THOSE EVIL PEOPLE WILL NOT EXIST ANYMORE. 🙏
Before GOD and MAN ENTER into REST; those WICKED INDIVIDUALS who ONCE PERSECUTED GOD ON EARTH and the ENEMIES who rebelled against Him on EARTH have been DESTROYED; THEY HAVE BEEN DESTROYED BY THE GREAT DISASTER OF THE LAST DAYS. ☀️
AFTER THOSE WICKED INDIVIDUALS ARE COMPLETELY DESTROYED, THE EARTH WILL NEVER KNOW SATAN'S HARASSMENT AGAIN. ☀️
MANKIND WILL ACHIEVE COMPLETE SALVATION, and only then will GOD'S WORK COMPLETELY END. 🙏

My wife is 8 months pregnant and as she was driving today, she got involved in a terrible head collision accident. Her car was pushed 15 metres away while she was inside. She was displaced from the driving seat to the passenger seat. I thank God she survived without any injuries except swellings. After checkups, the baby is 100% okay. God is great.
