Day 31 of A Song a Day (Keeps Coronavirus away). I cannot believe that I have been doing this for thirty-one days already.
That being said, the title of this song and the sentiment are quite apropos. If anyone would have told me that an averred loner like myself is ready to assault someone just to get a hug, I would have said, nope, that's not me.
It's amazing what we can learn about ourselves. That sense of self-sufficiency needed to crumble (and I did) so that I could be reminded afresh of just how much I need God for the difficult as well as the simple and mundane things in life.
Lyrics: Annie Hawks
Music:
I need thee every hour
Most gracious Lord
No tender voice like thine
Can peace afford
I need thee oh I need thee
Every hour I need thee
Oh bless me now my savior
I come to thee
I need thee every hour
Stay thou near by
Temptations loose their power
When thou art nigh
I need thee oh I need thee
Every hour I need thee
Oh bless me now my savior
I come to thee
I need thee every hour
Most holy one
Oh make me thine indeed
Thou blessed son
I need thee oh I need thee
Every hour I need thee
Oh bless me now my savior
I come to thee
Oh I need thee
I need thee
Oh bless me now my savior
I come to thee
