I Need

I had my pride, I had my prayers
I had my good intentions
Thought I was strong and in control
Thought I was self-sufficient

In my delusion, well I thought I had everything
My narrow mind made me blind
And You had to let me fall
To finally make me see

I need Your light, lead me
I need Your word, feed me
I need to know what I need
Show me my emptiness so You can fill it with
Everything You want for me
It took so long for me to realize, I need

You saw right through these paper walls
That I had built around me
Your holy fire burned them down
And now Your love surrounds me

In the ashes, well I can clearly see the proof
My own strength is my own weakness
Lord, I surrender
Because I'm helpless without You

I need Your light, lead me
I need Your word, feed me
I need to know what I need
Show me my emptiness so You can fill it with
Everything You want for me
It took so long for me to realize

I need Your light, lead me
I need Your word, feed me
I need to know what I need
Show me my emptiness so You can fill it with
Everything You want for me
It took so long for me to realize, I need

I, I need
I, I need
I, I need
I, I need
I, I need
