I Need You Jesus

words and music by Mitch McVicker

I need you Jesus, I need you more than anything.
This is my winter season and I'm just longing for the spring.

Chorus
I've run dry, so let the water flow.
I've grown cold inside and only you can warm my soul.
Here's my heart, show me how to love,
'cause I'm scared that I forgot.

I need you Jesus, don't let me dig a hole and hide down deep.
Save me from myself, protect me from me.

Chorus

I'm scared that I forgot
I need you Jesus, I need you
I've run dry ...
and I've grown cold inside ...
So here's my heart ...

Chorus

I need you Jesus
I need you Jesus

From Mitch:
"This is my prayer for Jesus to save me from me. It comes from feeling as if I had been taking Jesus' love for granted and viewing his call on my life to love as somewhat humdrum. Loving is not only an act of obedience, but it is a life-giving grace. And when I find myself cold and dry, it is my prayer that love is what motivates me to act."
