I have not my own goodness
No, I have no pure desire
For You wrote into existence
All the faith that You require
I'm not leaning or supported
I'm not helped up to stand
But I'm carried by You, Jesus
Carried in Your saving hands
How I need You
Just to need You
How I long to
Never long for another
I could have strength, I could be bold
But if I have not Your stronghold
Then I have nothing, I have nothing at all
When my own heart condemns me
You are greater than my heart
When the fear is overwhelming
You are greater still by far
When the swells of doubt are rising
And my faiths a distant thought
Just one whisper from You, Jesus
Overcomes shouts from the dark
How I need You
Just to need You
How I long to
Never long for another
I could have strength, I could be bold
But if I have not Your stronghold
Then I have nothing, I have nothing at all
