Dependence on God
Thriving in the Morning | Monday
Lord I come, I confess
Bowing here, I find my rest
Without You, I fall apart
You're the one that guides my heart
Lord, I need You, oh, I need You
Every hour, I need You
My one defense, my righteousness
Oh God, how I need You
Where sin runs deep, Your grace is more
Where grace is found is where You are
And where You are, Lord, I am free
Holiness is Christ in me
Lord, I need You, oh, I need You
Every hour, I need You
My one defense, my righteousness
Oh God, how I need You
So teach my song to rise to You
When temptation comes my way
And when I cannot stand, I'll fall on You
Jesus, You're my hope and stay
Lord, I need You, oh, I need You
Every hour, I need You
My one defense, my righteousness
Oh God, how I need You
You're my one defense, my righteousness
Oh God, how I need You
My one defense, my righteousness
Oh God, how I need You

As you go through your week, take these truths to heart:
The lyrics of "Lord, I Need You" express a simple but profound truth—we need God every moment of every day. In a world that encourages self-reliance, we are reminded that true strength comes from recognizing our dependence on Him. Without Him, we fall apart. With Him, we find rest, righteousness, and the grace we need to stand firm.
There will be moments when life feels overwhelming, when temptation seems strong, or when our own strength fails. This song calls us back to the heart of dependence—falling on Jesus when we cannot stand.
🌱 God is our righteousness. We cannot earn His favor by our own efforts. His grace is our only defense.
🌱 We are free where Christ is present. Holiness is not about striving but about surrendering to His presence in our lives.
🌱 He is our strength in every hour. Whether in seasons of joy or hardship, our first response should always be: “Lord, I need You.”
Heavenly Father, I come before You today, confessing my need for You. Without You, I fall apart. Thank You for being my righteousness, my strength, and my hope. Teach me to seek You in every moment—to call on You in my weakness and to rest in Your grace. Help me to surrender fully, trusting that You are all I need. In Jesus’ name, I pray. Amen.
Today, let your first thought in every situation be this: “Lord, I need You.”
