That’s Why I Needed You

THAT'S WHY I NEEDED YOU

Like a ship, lost out at sea

I was lost, until You rescued me

Just like a shepherd, searching for that one lost sheep

Lord, You searched and searched, until You found me, yes, You did

And there I was, I was trembling, trembling with fear and Lord I saw you smile

As you wiped away my tears

Then You told me not to worry, as You held me, oh, so tight

And You reassured me that everything would be alright

So, I'm singin' my song to You

That's why I needed You

I need You, I needed You

That's why I needed You

Oh, you see I'll never make it on my own

Oh, no, that's why I needed You

You see, I hate to think, just where I would be

Lord, if You hadn't come when You did and rescued me

Maybe I'd be somewhere lonely, feeling sorry for myself

As I cried and cried and it seemed as though I couldn't find any help

But then somebody told me, You were a Healer of broken hearts

And all I had to do was ask, and You'd give me a brand new start

So Lord, You forgave me and You saved me

You did just what they said

And my soul is so happy, and right now my soul is glad

And I'll rejoice to say,

That's why I needed You

You eased my troubled mind

That′s why I needed You

You see, I couldn't make it, woo

(I never could make it on my own)

I couldn′t take it on my own, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

That is why I needed You

I wanna tell You

You see, I couldn't make it, no

(I never could make it on my own)

I couldn't take it, I couldn′t make it, no, no

(No, that′s why I needed You)

Oh, that's why I needed You, Jesus

(No, that′s why I needed You)

I never could make it

(Never could make it)

You see, I never could take it

(I never could take it)

Oh, without You

(I never could make it on my own)

I just couldn't, I couldn′t make it

(No)

Never could I make it

(Never could make it)

Without You, You, You

(I never could take it)

I couldn't make it, Lord, no

(I never could make it on my own)

On my own, come on, Linda, let me hear you say

(No)

I never would do without You, oh, Lord, no, no

(I never could make it, never could take it)

No, no, no, no, no, no

(Without You, I just couldn′t make it without You)

Howard, let me hear you

(No, no, never, never could make it)

Never, never, never

(I never could take it)

Oh, oh, Lord, without You, just couldn't make it without You

(No, no, never, never could make it)

Edna, how you feel about it?

(No, no, never, never could make it)

No, no, no, no, no, I couldn't make it without You

(No, no, never, never could make it)

Not now, not yesterday, not ever

(No, no, never, never could make it)

Come on, Betty Bell, let me hear you

(I never could make it, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no)

I could never make it, no, never, never, no

(I never could make it, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no)

I could never make it without You

(No, no, never, never could make it)

You might be driving in your car sitting at home

(No, no, never, never could make it)

But if you′re here this way, join in with us

(I never could make it, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no)

Couldn′t make it, yeah, yeah, woo

(I never could take it, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no)

I just couldn't, I can′t, I can't, I couldn′t
