Lyrics

In the early nineties
My mom took one of my friends and I
To a harvest crusade
We listened to Greg Laurie
And heard Crystal Lewis sing
There were hundreds of people
That looked just like me
So right there in that stadium
I dropped down to my knee

And I said I need you every second
I can’t do this on my own
Only you God could move me

Then in my twenties
I watched my faith drift away
In a foreign stream
And the pearls once strung around my neck
Now lay broken at my feet
I thought I had it figured out
I didn’t need anyone but me
Oh but how I fell apart
When your love washed over me

I need you every second
I can’t do this on my own
Only you God could heal me

Now I’m almost forty
And I admit
I still have fears and insecurities
I know you say you’ll never leave
And you care for me
Oh but like Peter when he saw the wind
He began to sink
That’s when you reach out your hand
And you say, “Come and walk to me”

Lord I need you every second
I can’t do this on my own
I’ll always need you every second
I wasn’t meant to do this on my own
Only you God
Only you God
Only you God can heal me
Only you
