So In Need
Sheri Keller Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

With a broken heart I come to stand before You
So in need of a comforting word
I'm feeling lost and I'm tired of feeling empty
I'm so in need of You
I'm so in need of You

Now I'm holding on
To the One that gives me hope
Jesus, how I need You
Oh, this stirring in my soul
It just won't let me go
Because I know I'm so in need of You

When it's hard to trust
And the fear wells up within me
I'm so in need of a comforting word
I need Your love and Your presence all around me
I'm so in need of You
I'm so in need of You





No matter how I try I could never live without You
Forgive me for thinking I could make it on my own
