“What I Need (Give Me What I Need)”
I’m comin’ home filled with shame
Hear me, Father, today
Please, don’t turn me away
All I wanted was what I prayed
Played the fool, I went astray
Ignorin’ You when You said to me
That You know what’s best for me
I dare not even ask anything
Standin’ here in Your presence, no
Selfishly, I’ve done it before, and
Heartbreak was my lesson
So all I’m gonna do
Is worship You in truth
Lord, I love You
I adore You
I give glory and honor to You
Now, when the words won’t come
What to pray for me
It’s Your Holy Spirit
That intercedes for me
So, Lord, I decrease
Now, let Your Spirit speak
‘Cause my life is on the line
And You’ve got what I need, yeah
(Give me what I need)
No longer will I do it my own way
(Give me what I need)
So I give my heart, my mind
And my soul to You this day
Now, let the words out my mouth
And the thoughts that I think
Be acceptable unto You
This is my plea
(Give me what I need)
And I need Thee, oh, Lord
(Give me what I need) I need Thee, yeah
Every hour, Lord, I need Thee
So, now, when I pray
It’s according to Your will for me
Whatever You want from me
Is exactly what I need
(Give me what I need)
And I need power (Your power)
Need Your strength (need Your strength)
I need Your Spirit, Lord (Spirit)
Livin’ deep within
I need love (love)
I need joy (joy)
I need your peace (peace)
The Bible says in the Book of Matthew, Chapter 6, Verse 8:
Be not ye, therefore, like them; for the Father knows what you have need of, before you even ask Him.
So, if you find yourself asking for the things that you want, instead of what the Father wants for you, it goes on to tell you, how you oughta pray.
It simply says this:
Our Father (our Father)
Which art in Heaven (which art in Heaven)
Hallowed be Thy name (hallowed be Thy name)
Holy is Your name (holy is Your name)
Righteous is Your name (righteous is Your name)
Precious is Your name (precious is Your name)
‘Cause there’s no other name (there’s no other name)
There’s no other name (there’s no other name)
Thy kingdom come, oh (Thy kingdom come)
Thy will be done (Thy will be done)
Just like it is in Heaven (is in Heaven)
In the earth (in the earth)
And on the earth (on the earth)
I am the earth (I am the earth)
‘Cause I come from nothing (I come from the earth)
But God made me something (but that’s not the earth)
I am a little more than dirt (a little more than dirt)
A little more than dirt (I’m a little more than dirt)
Oh, yeah (’cause I come from the earth)
Dust comes from earth (let Your will be done in me)
Let Your will be done in me (let the will be done in me)
Let Your will be done in me (let the will be done in me) yeah
That’s what I need (’cause that’s what I need)
That’s what I need (that’s what I need)
Give me what I need, wooh
I can’t do it on my own, no, no
(Give me what I need), wooh
I can’t make it here alone, no, no, no
Not what I want
But everything that I need
‘Cause You know what’s best for me, yeah
So give me what I need
I’m no longer the same, Lord
My life has been changed, Lord
Because I know then what You want for me
Is exactly what I need
