Verse 1
I joined this group a long time ago
traveling 'round the country doing a lot of shows
then the Lord showed me I was doing it all wrong
He told me to spread His word through all of my songs

so im asking you to guide me... cant do this by myself
I need you Jesus can't depend on nobody else

Chorus
I need you yes I do
I need you yes I do

Verse 2
since I decided to make Jesus my choice
the road hasn't been easy but he's kept me right on course
so many times I felt like giving up
but Lord you kept your arms around me and you covered me with your love

Lord I just want to thank you for being so good to me
you opened so many doors that I couldn't nearly see

Chorus

Verse 3
I cast my cares upon the you
I need you Jesus to see me through
I cant make it by myself
its just you and me Jesus I don't need nobody else

this world we're living in has grown cold
they're killing the young, and they're even killing the old

Chorus (repeats until the end)

(Ad lib)

Just like a flower, needs the rain
Just like a conductor, needs his train
just like a highway, needs two lanes
just like a window, needs a pane

just like a carpenter, needs a hammer
just like a little child, needs some manners
like the sun, needs to shine
I need you Jesus, I need you all the time
