Lauren Daigle's acoustic cover of Matt Maher's 'Lord, I Need You' is a prayerful song of dependence on God. The lyrics express confession, rest, and the recognition that without God, one falls apart. It emphasizes God's grace covering sin, Christ's holiness in the believer, and the need for God every hour. The song also touches on temptation and finding hope in Jesus. It is a modern worship song often used in personal devotion and congregational settings.

Lord, I come, I confess

Bowing here I find my rest

And without You I fall apart

You're the One that guides my heart


Lord, I need You, oh, I need You

Every hour I need You

My one defense, my righteousness

Oh God, how I need You


Where sin runs deep Your grace is more

Where grace is found is where You are

And where You are, Lord, I am free

Holiness is Christ in me


Lord, I need You, oh, I need You

Every hour I need You

You're my one defense, my righteousness

Oh God, how I need You


So teach my song to rise to You

When temptation comes my way

And when I cannot stand I'll fall on You

Jesus, You're my hope and stay


Lord, I need You, oh, I need You

Every hour I need You

You're my one defense, my righteousness

Oh God, how I need You


You're my one defense, my righteousness

Oh God, how I need You

My Jesus, Lord I need you
