What We Really Need

When I thought I needed sunshine, he sent me rain

When I thought I needed healing and already had my share of pain, he sent me more

When I was looking for a mountaintop, all I saw were the valleys below 

Jesus always seems to know what I need

When I thought I needed friendship, he made me stand alone

When I thought I was doing right, he said I was wrong

When I thought I need a blessing, he sent a trial my way

Now I know what it  means to suffer for awhile

He knows exactly what I need;

To walk the narrow way

To keep me humble

To make me pray

He knows when the clouds cover the sky;

He sends me to walk in the sunshine and call out his name.

He sends me to my knees to listen; Verily Verily I say unto you, Ye Must Be Born Again

He knows that I have no place else to go

What we need is an old-fashioned revival

One that will bring us to our knees

We need a haven of rest by the stream of life with him who holds our tomorrow

We need blessed assurance for God to be the glory

We need amazing grace on a hill called Mount Calvary

We need our Savior’s love to come down from heaven with the glory to fill our souls

We need to sit upon the Rock of Ages and look out at the Old Rugged Cross

We need to sing “Love Lifted Me” out loud;

We need Jesus Christ.

Blessings my dear friends,
