I Need You More
Words and Music by Bruce Haynes & Lindell Cooley
I need You more, more than yesterdayI need You Lord more than words can say
I need You more than ever before
I need You Lord, I need You Lord
More than the air I breathe, more than the song I sing
More than the next heartbeat, more than anything,
And Lord as time goes by, I’ll be by Your side
‘Cause I never want to go back to my old life
Right here in Your presence is where I belong
Now my broken heart has finally found a home
And I’ll never be alone
"Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light." Matthew 11:28-30
I need the Lord. I need Him so much. I know He is there by my side and I am thankful for that. I am so thankful that He has promised to carry my heavy load because I can't carry it on my own. I need Him. I can't imagine not having Him in my life and having to carry my burdens alone.
Sometimes we try to carry our burdens alone and the whole time the Lord is waiting to take it from us if we would only let Him. Run to Him in your time of need and allow Him to give you the rest you need. He will send help your way in the most wonderful ways.
I was having a particulary bad day today and needed a lift. I was quickly becoming discouraged and as I was writing my blog entry for today, a dear friend came to the door and gave me a beautiful bouquet of flowers! She wanted to encourage and uplift me. God sent her and she listened to Him when He asked her to come to me. He saw my need. We serve such a wonderful God who cares so much for us.
Below is the verse from the card she gave me. I hope it encourages you as it did me:
God will take care of you.
may your troubled heart
find peace and comfort in the knowledge
that you are never alone.
May God's presence ease
your trembling spirit and give you rest.
He knows how you feel.
He is ever aware of your circumstances
and ready to be your strength,
your grace, and your peace.
He is there to cast sunlight
into all your darkened shadows,
to send encouragement through the love
of friends and family and
to replace your weariness with new hope.
God is your stronghold,
and with Him as your guide,
you need never be afraid.
No circumstances can block His love,
No grief is too hard for Him to bear.
No task is too difficult
for Him to complete.
When what you are feeling
is simply too deep for words
and nothing anyone does or says
can provide you with the relief you need,
God understands.
He is your provider--
today, tomorrow and always.
And He loves you.
Cast all your cares on Him...
and believe. ---- Linda E. Knight
