You Still Need Jesus

And I see you there just apart from me
Under skies that hang so heavily
The road that struggles through
And I've come to see you off with the love
That's come to mean so much to me
For what it's worth to you
Time won't wait to take you along
Beyond where I could go
Though your soul is free and your heart is strong
I hope you know that you

You still need Jesus
Though your foolish heart may lie
To keep you clinging
To the emptiness of your pride
Will you let it break you
Or will you lay it down
Before there's nowhere left to turn to
No time left to turn around

And now the evening falls the shadows rise out
From behind those far horizons
Forever out of reach
And though the night may sting like ice around you
The storms may toss you as they're bound to
Still you must believe
You'll have scars to show for where you've been
And your eyes will tell it all
So as you survive to sink or swim
To rise or fall well you

You still need Jesus
Though your foolish heart may lie
To keep you clinging
To the emptiness of your pride
Will you let it break you
Or will you lay it down
Before there's nowhere left to turn to
No time left to turn around

And though the pack is at your heels
And though your back is breaking
Your heart is lonely as the day is long
The path ahead He pioneered
And He will be there taking you into the sky
And far beyond
And you

You still need Jesus
Though your foolish heart may lie
To keep you clinging
To the emptiness of your pride
Will you let it break you
Or will you lay it down
Before there's nowhere left to turn to
No time left to turn around
