Meredith Andrews' song expresses a raw, honest cry for God's presence in the midst of hurt, disappointment, and failure. The lyrics acknowledge the struggle to see God's face when life feels overwhelming, yet choose to sing again of His kindness. The song moves from need to surrender, declaring that having God alone is enough. It speaks of restoration, healing, and finding calm in the storm. The repeated refrain 'O how I need You' underscores dependence on God, while the bridge affirms that He restores broken things and brings peace. This is a song of hope, surrender, and trust in God's faithfulness.

Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team

In the shadow of my hurt

It's been hard to see Your face

When the wreckage and the failure

Feel like more than I can take


O how I need You, yes, I still do

O how I'm needing You now

O how I need You, yes, I still do

O how I'm needing You now


Disappointment stole my song

But I choose to sing again

Of the kindness You have shown

When I could barely lift my hands


O how I need You, yes, I still do

O how I'm needing You now

O how I need You, yes, I still do

O how I'm needing You now


And You are my hope, You are my future

If I can have You, nothing but You

I have it all

Now I let go and now I surrender

If I can have You, nothing but You

I have it all


[Bridge 2: Meredith Andrews & Darren Mulligan]

You restore every broken thing

You return every melody

You're the calm in my raging sea

My healing, healing

You restore every broken thing

You return ever melody

You're the calm in my raging sea

My healing, healing!


O how I need You, yes, I still do

O how I'm needing You now

O how I need You, yes, I still do

O how I'm needing You now!


You are my hope and You are my future

If I can have You, nothing but You

I have it all

Now I let go and now I surrender

If I can have You, nothing but You

I have it all!


O how I need You, yes, I still do

O how I'm needing You now

O how I need You, yes, I still do

O how I'm needing You now

O how I need You, yes, I still do

O how I'm needing You now
