That's Why I Need You

That's Why I Needed You

This song is by Andraé Crouch and appears on the album Finally (1982).

Like a ship, lost out at sea
I was lost, until You rescued me
Just like a shepherd searchin' for that one lost sheep
Lord, You searched and searched, until You found me, yes You did
And there I was, I was tremblin',
tremblin' with fear and Lord I saw you smile
As you wiped away my tears
You told me not to worry, as You held me, oh so tight
And You reassured me that everything would be alright
So I'm singin' my song to You...

That's why I needed You
I need You, I needed You
That's why I needed You
Oh, you see I'll never make it on my own
Oh no, That's why I needed You

You see, I hate to think, just where I would be
Lord, if You hadn't come when You did and rescued me
Maybe I'd be somewhere lonely, feelin' sorry for myself
As I cried and cried and it seemed as though I couldn't find any help
But then somebody told me, You were a Healer of broken hearts
And all I had to do was ask, and You'd give me a brand new start
So Lord, You forgave me and You saved me
You did just what they were sayin'
And my soul is so happy, and right now my soul is glad
And I'd me glad to say...

That's why I needed You
You eased my troubled mind
That's why I needed You
You see I couldn't make it
I couldn't take it on my own, oh
That's why I needed You
I wanna tell you, no I couldn't make it on my own
Oh, That's why I needed You, Jesus
That's why I needed You

I never could make it
You see I never could take it
Not without You
Never could make it on my own
I never could have made it
Never could make it without You, You, You
I never could take it
I never could make it on my own
Oh, I never could make it
I never could take it
I never could make it without You
I never could make it
Never could take it
I never could make it without You
Never could take it
Never could make it without You...
