[Chorus]
Lord, I need You, Oh, I need You
Every hour I need You
My one defense, my righteousness
Oh God, how I need You

[Verse 1]
Lord, I come, I confess
Bowing here, I find my rest
Without You, I fall apart
You're the One, that guides my heart

[Chorus]
Lord, I need You, Oh, I need You
Every hour I need You
My one defense, my righteousness
Oh God, how I need You

[Verse 2]
Where sin runs deep, Your grace is more
Where grace is found, is where You are
Oh, where You are, Lord, I am free
Holiness, is Christ in me

[Chorus]
Lord, I need You, Oh, I need You
Every hour I need You
My one defense, my righteousness
Oh God, how I need You
[Verse 3]
Teach my song to rise to You
When temptation comes my way
And when I cannot stand, I'll fall on You
Jesus, You're my hope and stay
Oh, Jesus, You're my hope and stay!

[Chorus]
Lord, I need You, Oh, I need You
Every hour I need You
My one defense, my righteousness
Oh God, how I need You
Lord, I need You, Oh, I need You
Every hour I need You
My one defense, my righteousness
Oh God, how I need You

[Outro]
My one defense, my righteousness
Oh God, how I need You
Oh God I need You, yeah...
