Fred Hammond's song 'Lord We Need Your Love' is a heartfelt plea for God's love and presence. The lyrics tell of individuals who have tried to find fulfillment in people, possessions, or self-reliance, only to feel empty and broken. They realize that only God's love can truly sustain them, and they urgently ask for it in every season. The song emphasizes the need to stop pretending and to turn to God in prayer, recognizing that He is just a prayer away. It's a call for dependence on divine love rather than temporary things.

[Verse 1]
She thought all she needed could be found in man
Building all her hopes and dreams on temporary things
She's laughing on the outside but she's crying on the inside she's
hangin' in there on a wing and a prayer and i can hear her say..
[Channel 1]
I think i'm getting wiser now
Cause things are gettin clearer now
We're only on prayer away
Dont watse another day
[Chorus]
Lord we need Your love
If wew're ever gonna make it
no longer can we fake it
We need it right now, right now
Lord we need Your love
Every mornin'
every evenin'
In and out of every season
Right now, right now
[Verse 2: Marvin L. Winans]
Oh he thought he didn't need nobody
he said he couldn't trust nobody
he tried to be a strong man but he was hurtin from a broken heart
All the money in the world
could never buy him peace of mind
he's running on empty and he feels like he's runnin' out of time
[Verse 3: Brian McKnight]
Don't take love for granted
you gotta embrace it right away
what you have some don't find, ever
in the bottom line
so think it over you gotta
square your shoulders and
before it's all done
you'll look around
and i'm bound to hear you say

I think i'm getting wiser now
'Cause things are getting clearer now
We're only one prayer away
Don't waste another day
[Chorus]
Lord we need Your love
If wew're ever gonna make it
no longer can we fake it
We need it right now, right now
Lord we need Your love
Every mornin'
every evenin'
In and out of every season
Right now, right now
