Like David I’ll sing
In the valleys and caves of this dark earth
Like Moses I’ll walk through the waters
That seem like they won’t part
I’ll lift up my voice
And sing all the notes that I know to
It may lack direction
It may sound a bit out of tune
I just need You
Oh I need You
I just need You
(Oh I need You)
Like Jonathan’s son
I may be a cripple with no hope
Like the woman at the well
I’m not sure which water to swallow
Like Saul who can’t see
And Paul who believed I will have a past
Like a child that’s tired
I may need to climb on Your back
What if it’s hard to believe every word that You say
Will You turn Your back will You let me walk away
There’s times that I doubt
And times I believe You’re the one
So give me Your grace
And strengthen my legs for the run
