I Need You Now

Smokie Norful

Not a second

Or another minute

Not an hour or another day

but at this moment with my arms out stretched

I need you to make a way

As you have done so many times before

Through window or an open door

I stretch my hands to thee

Come rescue me

I need you right away



I need you now

I need you now

I need you now

I need you now



Not another second or another minute

Not an hour or another day

But Lord I need you right away



If I never needed you before

To show up and restore

All of the things that I let slip

While I was yet searching the world for more

The truest friend I have indeed

You are my best friend I know in me

I stretch my hands to thee

Come rescue me

I need you right away



The agony of being alone

Fear of doing things on my own

The test and trials that come to make me strong

The feelings of guilt, hurt, shame and defeat

The waves of trials that beat upon me

But to know, Lord, that in you I've got victory



I need you now, Lord

I need you now, oh

I need you right now, right now, right now

I need you now



Oh, not another second

Not another minute, Lord

Can't wait another day, Lord

Oh no

Please make way

Oh Lord
