Lord I Need You

By:  Ron Hamilton

 

Sometimes when life seems gentle and blessings flood my way,

I turn my gaze away from You and soon forget to pray.

But when the sky grows darker and courage turns to fear,

My anxious voice cries upward with words you long to hear.

 

Lord, I need You when the sea of life is calm. 

O Lord, I need You when the wind is blowing strong. 

Whether trials come or cease, keep me always on my knees.

Lord, I need You. Lord I need You.

 

Lord, help me to remember I’m weak but You are strong.

I cannot sing apart from You, for Lord You are my song.

Although I’m prone to wander and boast in all I do;

Lord keep my eyes turned upward so I depend on You.

 

Lord, I need You when the sea of life is calm. 

O Lord, I need You when the wind is blowing strong. 

Whether trials come or cease, keep me always on my knees.

Lord, I need You. Lord I need You.

 

This song opened my eyes when I heard it at church a couple weeks ago.  The second verse really stood out to me. Lord, help me to remember I’m weak but You are strong.

I cannot sing apart from You, for Lord You are my song.

Although I’m prone to wander and boast in all I do;

Lord keep my eyes turned upward so I depend on You.    

Just like anybody else I have dreams and goals that I want to accomplish. Although it might be harder to accomplish my goals with my disabilities. I  know that if I depend on God He will give me the desires of my heart! Are you depending on God?

 

Psalm 37:3-4 Trust in the LORD, and do good; so shalt thou dwell in the land, and verily thou shalt be fed. Delight thyself also in the LORD; and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart.
