Song Lyrics

Your spirit reads my heart
Like the pages of an open book
Somehow You see each fragile part
Before You look

You know my every weakness
Lord, You know just what I need
And out of Your compassion
You comfort me

For when I least deserve Your love
That'’s when I need You most
And when I seem to push away
That’'s when I need You close

When my flesh would hide my heart
From the only truth it knows
That'’s when I need You
That'’s when I need You most

When all I know is change
Only You will keep my heart secure
Your tender love for me
Remains so strong and sure

And though I may fail You often
Still Your healing mercies flow
For with a father'’s wisdom
You always know

That when I least deserve Your love
That'’s when I need You most
And when I seem to push away
That’'s when I need You close

When my flesh would hide my heart
From the only truth it knows
That'’s when I need You
That'’s when I need You most

I need You
I need You
I need You, need You
