I Need You Now
by Lordsong

Album: Refuse To Be Afraid

I've never seen that little town
Where You were born
It was long before my time and far away
As time goes by
I think about You more and more
And what it was like in those days
I wish I could have walked with You
You might have called me friend
But there's no way
I could've known You then

But I know You now
I know Your name
And all the awesome things You did
And why You came
I didn't know You
When You helped that lame man
Rise up from his bed
I didn't know You
When You stood there
And called Lazarus from the dead
But I know You now

I didn't see You feed
That tired and hungry crowd
With five loaves
And two fish one afternoon
I didn't see You catch Peter's hand
So he wouldn't drown
When he tried the walk on water like You
I couldn't see Your face
When You taught those little kids
There's just no way
I could've seen You then

But I see You now
I see Your love
I see a tiny glimpse of You
In every one of us
I didn't see You in the garden
Crying as You prayed
I didn't see You
When You were kissed
By Judas and betrayed
But I see You now

Oh, I did not need You
When that bitter angry mob
Shouted out, "Crucify Him"
And I couldn't have needed You
When they laughed and mocked You
But it could be I'm a little bit like them

'Cause I need You now
I need Your grace
And how I needed Your forgiveness
To be saved
I didn't need You when Pilates soldiers
Beat You to the ground
I didn't need You when You hung there
Bleeding from Your thorny crown
But I need You now
I need You now
