A Hymn . . . .


This song has been on my heart and mind lately so I thought I would share it here. The words are a powerful reminder that, while it is sometimes all too easy to try to rely on our own strength, we always need the Lord.

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.
