| i need Thee | | O God, my Maker, give me to know, evermore, at least this one thing, that [b]i need Thee[/b].
God i need Thee.
Is there ever a time, when i do not need Thee?
When i am proud, God
[b]i need Thee[/b]
When i am humble
[b]i need Thee[/b]
When i'm misunderstood
[b]i need Thee[/b]
and when i think i understand
[b]i need Thee[/b]
When i'm alone
[b]i need Thee[/b]
and when i'm surrounded by friends
[b]i need Thee[/b]
When i sin
[b]i need Thee[/b]
and when i don't
[b]i need Thee[/b]
God, when i'm lost
[b]i need Thee[/b]
and whenever You find me
[b]i need Thee[/b]
[b]i need Thee[/b] O God!
If i'm right [b]i need Thee[/b]
If i'm wrong [b]i need Thee[/b]
If i'm tired [b]i need Thee[/b]
and if I'm strong?
[b]i still need Thee[/b]!
God, when, o when, could i ever say
i do not need Thee?
Is my heart full of sorrow?
then i need Thee
Do i have joy?
i need Thee
Am i surrounded by fears?
by uncertainties?
by a million differnt things that could go wrong?
God, i need Thee!
Right now, i need Thee
Tomorrow, i will need Thee
and yesturday, i needed Thee.
i will forever need Thee.
You created me, to need Thee,
for You alone, are God.
[b]i need Thee, my God[/b].
[b]i need Thee,
my God[/b]. _________________ Christopher Joel Dandrow

Annie Hawks wrote:
One day as a young wife and mother of 37 years of age, I was busy with my regular household tasks. Suddenly, I became so filled with the sense of nearness to the Master that, wondering how one could live without Him, either in joy or pain, these words, I Need Thee Every Hour, were ushered into my mind, the thought at once taking full possession of me.
After writing the lyrics, Hawks gave them to her pastor, Robert Lowry, who added the tune and refrain. The hymn was first published at the National Baptist Sunday School Convention in Cincinnati, Ohio, in 1872. Some years later, after the death of her husband, Hawks wrote:
I did not understand at first why this hymn had touched the great throbbing heart of humanity. It was not until long after, when the shadow fell over my way, the shadow of a great loss, that I understood something of the comforting power in the words which I had been permitted to give out to others in my hour of sweet serenity and peace.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I need Thee every hour, most gracious Lord; No tender voice like Thine can peace afford.
Refrain
I need Thee, O I need Thee; Every hour I need Thee; O bless me now, my Savior, I come to Thee.
I need Thee every hour, stay Thou nearby; Temptations lose their power when Thou art nigh.
Refrain
I need Thee every hour, in joy or pain; Come quickly and abide, or life is in vain.
Refrain
I need Thee every hour; teach me Thy will; And Thy rich promises in me fulfill.
Refrain
I need Thee every hour, most Holy One; O make me Thine indeed, Thou blessèd Son.

| Re: i need Thee | | I need Thee, precious Jesus, For I am full of sin; My soul is dark and guilty, My heart is dead within. I need the cleansing fountain Where I can always flee, The blood of Christ most precious, The sinners perfect plea.
I need Thee, precious Jesus, For I am very poor; A stranger and a pilgrim, I have no earthly store. I need the love of Jesus To cheer me on my way, To guide my doubting footsteps, To be my strength and stay.
I need Thee, precious Jesus, I need a friend like Thee, A friend to soothe and pity, A friend to care for me. I need the heart of Jesus To feel each anxious care, To tell my every trouble, And all my sorrows share.
I need Thee, precious Jesus, I need Thee, day by day, To fill me with Thy fullness, To lead me on my way; I need Thy Holy Spirit, To teach me what I am, To show me more of Jesus, To point me to the Lamb.
I need Thee, precious Jesus, And hope to see Thee soon, Encircled with the rainbow And seated on Thy throne. There, with Thy blood bought children, My joy shall ever be, To sing Thy praises, Jesu, To gaze, O Lord, on Thee.

| Re: | | I need Thee even though You don't need me. You loved me when I hated You. My heart aches for You. Your presence is Life and joy and peace.
Keep me close Lord, never let me fall. The world discusts me. Sin discusts me. I yearn for my glorified body. I yearn to be in your presence forever. I want to hear your voice. I want to see your face. I want to touch your hands and head and feet. I want to just sit and listen to you speak. I want to look at you and thank you. I want to embrace you. I want to shake your hand. I want to go on walks with you.
Even so come Lord. Quickly! |

[b]Himself by A.B.Simpson (1904)[/b]
Once it was the blessing, Now it is the Lord; Once it was the feeling, Now it is His Word; Once His gift I wanted, Now, the Giver own; Once I sought for healing, Now Himself alone.
Refrain
All in all forever, Jesus will I sing; Everything in Jesus, And Jesus everything.
Once twas painful trying, Now tis perfect trust; Once a half salvation, Now the uttermost; Once twas ceaseless holding, Now He holds me fast; Once twas constant drifting, Now my anchors cast.
Refrain
Once twas busy planning, Now tis trustful prayer; Once twas anxious caring, Now He has the care; Once twas what I wanted, Now what Jesus says; Once twas constant asking, Now tis ceaseless praise.
Refrain
Once it was my working, His it hence shall be; Once I tried to use Him, Now He uses me; Once the powr I wanted, Now the Mighty One; Once for self I labored, Now for Him alone.
Refrain
Once I hoped in Jesus, Now I know Hes mine; Once my lamps were dying, Now they brightly shine; Once for death I waited, Now His coming hail; And my hopes are anchored Safe within the veil.

| Re: | | "Lord, [b]help me[/b] to glorify Thee;
I am poor, [b]help me[/b] to glorify Thee by contentment;
I am sick, [b]help me[/b] to give Thee honor by patience;
I have talents, help me to extol Thee by spending them for Thee;
I have time, Lord, help me to redeem it, that I may serve thee;
I have a heart to feel, Lord, let that heart feel no love but Thine, and glow with no flame but affection for Thee;
I have a head to think, Lord, help me to think of Thee and for Thee; Thou hast put me in this world for something, Lord, [b]show me what that is,[/b] and help me to work out my life-purpose: [b]I cannot do much,[/b] but as the widow put in her two mites, which were all her living, so, Lord, I cast my time and eternity too into Thy treasury;
I am all Thine; [b]take me,[/b] and enable me to glorify Thee now, in all that I say, in all that I do, and with all that I have." |
