Jul 28thNeedy Soul

Lord God, oh tender,

And mighty Savior,

I am a needy soul,
Self-sufficiency is lie,

From the enemy who,

Doesn’t care what we believe,

Or whom we believe in,

As long as it is not You,

And Your Gospel,

Prods me to depend,

On self,

Yet I refuse for I know,

Self-sufficiency is an illusion,

You, oh wondrous Lord,

Have poured Yourself into me,

Because of Your great love,

Therefore, I cannot,

Settle for less.

When I opposed You,

You loved me.

As I ran from You,

You ran backward,

In front of my every step,

So that I would see,

The love in Your eyes,

So that I could see,

That You see me,

And understand me,

And that,

You know me.

From eternity past,

You have loved me.

How great are your ways,

So far beyond mine!

Even in my limited knowledge,

Of Your infinite being,

I cannot fully describe the

Splendor and glory

Of Your love and,

Who You are.

I can receive You,

Deep into my spirit,

And yet my tongue,

Cannot explain,

The knowledge that You,

Have poured into me.

I indeed am a needy soul,

Needy for You!

In this confession,

Freedom lifts me,

Up into the wonders,

Of Your heavenly universe,

And beyond,

Into Your glorious presence.

When with You,

I am not longer terrestrial,

But in Your hand,

I become, by Your hand,

Celestial,

For I am Yours.

I release myself,

All that I am,

That I might receive,

More of You.

Beyond the grasp

Of the mind,

My spirit receives

And holds onto

You.

I am a needy soul.

Needy for You!

In that is bliss and

Steadfast peace.

I am needy for Your Lord,

You are all I need,

I need You!

Thank You!
