Jesus i need you lyrics1/9/2023 Consider singing “How Deep the Father’s Love for Us,” and ending with just the first verse of “My Jesus I Love Thee” a cappella: singing without accompaniment solves the issue of finding the same key for both songs. Examples of building with harmonies throughout the song can be found in both Selah’s version of the hymn, and the Jimmy Swaggart trio’s version, which also includes a great key change into the last verse.īecause of the simple melody, this is a hymn that can be easily paired with another song to be sung right afterwards. The vocal harmonies for this tune are easy to find and add a richness to both tune and text.

May the grace He poured out upon you continue to awe you. May you rely on Him to get through each and every day. I pray that, through submission to Christ, you will find His strength in your weaknesses. This grace continues to awe me day to day, even after more than three decades of following Jesus. And not just me, but all who call upon His name and claim Christ as Saviour. ![]() It’s only by His grace that I no longer have to experience spiritual death. Through His death and resurrection, I am forgiven. My sins, placed on His shoulders, became His burden. My heart, my salvation, was bought at such a steep price. Without Him, I am incapable of either.įurther humbling to me is the phrase “grace bought heart”. I utterly need Jesus in my life, in all circumstances, in every moment. Oh, the absolute freedom we experience when we submit to our Saviour! How burden-free we become when we release the idea of control into the hands of the One who is truly – and solely - in control!Įvery line in this song is an encouraging balm to my soul. Not just once in a while or when we’re in a tough situation, but every moment. ![]() Hillsong Worship’s song, Jesus I Need You, boldly proclaims our need for Jesus. Asking for help seems to be a sure sign of weakness.Īnd then this. As toddlers, we would rather tantrum than ask for help. ![]() We’re encouraged from a young age to engage in being independent.
