Lyrics

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
