Jamie Kimmett's song 'Lord, I Need You' is a contemporary worship ballad expressing total dependence on God. The lyrics confess human weakness and the need for divine guidance, righteousness, and grace. It acknowledges that without God, one falls apart, and that holiness comes from Christ living in the believer. The song also touches on the theme of grace covering sin and finding freedom in God's presence. It is a prayerful declaration of reliance on Jesus as one's defense and hope, especially in times of temptation.

Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team

Lord, I come, I confess

Bowing here I find my rest

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

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

My one defense, my righteousness

Oh God, how I need You


So teach my song to rise to You

When temptation comes my way

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

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 one defense, my righteousness

Oh God, how I need You
