This song has been on my mind all day. I'd love to hear your thoughts...
I NEED YOU
by josh bales
My heart is restless in me My wings are all worn out
I'm walking in the wilderness And I cannot get out
I need You, oh, I need You Blessed Savior come
I need You, oh, I need You
Fill the every longing of my soul
Oh, how I need You, Lord
I need Your perfect word
With tearful eyes to see The sin that I afford
I need to weep and pray
For all the thousand ways
That I have failed You just today
My bed is soaked with sadness
My sadness has no end
A downward spiral of despair That I keep falling in
I need You, oh, I need You
To You my soul shall fly
I need You, oh, I need You
Ywh, how I love you more than life
Oh, how I need You, Lord I need Your perfect word
With tearful eyes to see The sin that I afford
I need to weep and pray For all the thousand ways
That I have failed You just today
Your silence is like death to me
So won't You hear my desperate plea
Your silence is like death to me
So won't You hear my desperate plea
Today my soul is soaring Way over mountains high
Though I can see the valleys They're all just passing by
It's not that I am stronger, Look at my feeble wings
But I've been lifted higher Ywh's lifted me in His own strength
Oh, how I love You, Lord I love Your perfect Word
With tearful eyes to see The God who always will endure
Now I will celebrate
For all the thousand ways That You have shown me grace
And made my heart in grace to stay
You've made my heart in grace to stay
Lord, make my heart in grace to stay
I need You, oh, I need You

Yes, as a matter of fact they have "Dads and Donuts" in coulple of weeks.
I will definately comment on this great song. Do not have time right now. so-long.
Happy Saturday Roth family! Clif is at men's Bible study this morning and I'm headed over to the church office to learn how to keep the books. The secretary quit and I agreed to keep up with it until we can find someone else. And later, I'm headed for coffee with my Jewish bosses wife (who grew up catholic) and to a scrapbooking party with some of the women from church! Sounds like a full day, and somewhere I have to fit my chores in, like clean my bathrooms and change the sheets! Love you all, and I am enjoying hearing from you so very much.
Well, I love this song and I'll share with you all what it means to me. When I sing this song to God I am saying, I am dependent on You, God. I am saying that I get stuck in the wilderness and in a downward spiral of despair and I cannot in my own power and strength get out or rescue myself. I am saying I need God to rescue me to help me remember and fear His holiness. And one of my favorite lines is in the last verse when it says "It's not that I am stronger, Yaweh lifted me in His own strength."
Perfect to me means perfect. Flawless, without blemish.
Well, Clif I really like this song. So much of what is expressed in this song is exactly where I have been. I recall a passage in Gods "Perfect" Word that He led me to one day when I was in some of my deepest sorrow. Psalms 22:14
David said "I am poured out like water and all my bones are out of joint: my heart is like wax; it is melted in the midst of my bowels."
I couldnt believe how this described exactly how I was feeling.I believe this is some of the emotions that this writer is feeling as he penned the words "My bed is soaked with Sadness, My sadness has no end".
I am not a Bible teacher. I am far from knowing all I should know.I do not know how to pick things apart to see just exactly what someone is trying to say. I listen with my head and my heart. I know what Christ has done in my life and Just like this writer I want to share exactly that. My Heavenly Father and I have drawn so close in the last year and a half. I hear my Father speak to me so much more clearly now because I was brought to a point that He was my only strength. I realize now that He is always my only strength. He is who I will always trust in -in whatever the circumstance. I know it seems like I am rambling Im not as good as you boys with comunicating over computer. I guess what I am saying is ,in regards to what Caleb said, things do not have to be so complicated. This Song expresses ones most heart felt feelings of pain,fear,lonliness and then the victory of allowing God to fill all his needs in his life through Gods "Perfect" Word. The aspect of "Perfect", Caleb I am so Not perfect and I do not know of ANY Perfection here on this earth. To me, When I hear the word "perfect" The ONLY thing that comes to my mind is my awsome God and His Holy Word. This writer is writing from the debts of hurt,pain you know all those difficult emotions. He desires Peace,safety,righteousness,truth, all that God gives. Dont you think at this point in this writers life that "Perfect" Is an Absolutly Powerful and Awesome term to use?
Well, I love the song. I love you all. I trust you will all have a wonderful Day in Gods House tomorrow. Keep praying for healing in our home. I hope what I said made sense. Im not a very good writer. I just share my heart.
Love, Sis
Hey Peeps,
Cita, I definitely think that your life experiences cause you to view the words of this song in a different light than all of us. Though we all "NEED" Him, I would say that your cries of desperation may be somewhat different than those that the rest of us have had to cry. Life experience changes our outlook and our reaction to things that come across our path, like the lyrics to this song. (would you agre?)
Caleb, interesting "critique." Great song, you posted too.
Sally, for some reason, I knew that was what you would say.
I love you all. Going to a bball game and to dinner with a friend and his son tonight.
out,
cwjr
