I Need You

(album: Soul Therapy - 2021)

Oh-oh-woah-oh
(I need You) Oh, I need You bad
Let's go, Davis
Oh-oh

I wonder if You count my apologies (Uh)
If I ain't hit the limit yet, I gotta be
As close to it as I could be, hopefully You guiding me
Otherwise, I feel like it's no proof You inside of me
My downs been stronger than my ups lately (Ups lately)
My doubts been stronger than my trust lately
I speak faith with my lips and face
But I move like just in case, don't know what's up lately (Man)
I just wanna lift Yah's Name
But I feel like I was better when I just got saved (Real talk)
And tryna pitch God in His hip-hop lanes
Like tryna pitch Pop, it isn't it, not rage (Uh)
I be feeling like I ain't making a difference (Difference)
Like lately I been in it just making a living
I said I'd ride 'til the wheel's blew (Wheel's blew)
But I just wanna feel You

I wish I could love You better
I hope You know I care
Show me the way, Father
Say You'll always be there
I need You in my life (I need You)
I just pray You grace abides for me (Abides in me, oh)

Uh, Lord, You are so faithful (Faithful)
Thank You for doing what I can't do (What I can't do)
I wish I could love You the same way You love me
I hate that I can't, but I aim to (Pssh)
Time zone, know why You deal with me (Uh)
Swerving off the road, but You still wit' me (Uh)
You keep it unconditionally real with me (Uh)
But lately, my condition is real iffy (Real talk)
I've been a wreck, Father
You love me like a son, I love You like a stepfather
I stepped out of Your will and ended up back where You stepped, Father
Like a prodigal when all I could do is my best, Father
I'm trying (Tryin'), but if I say I gave You my best, I'd be lying (Lyin')
Play too many games with the flesh 'stead of dying (Yeah)
Play with the fire and can't take heat
Why is it that when I should pray most, I pray least?

I wish I could love You better
I hope You know I care
Show me the way, Father
Say You'll always be there
I need You in my life (I need You)
I just pray You grace abides for me (Abides in me, oh)
I wish I could love You better
I hope You know I care
Show me the way, Father
Say You'll always be there
'Cause I need You in my life, oh (I need You)
I just pray You grace abides for me, me, yeah (Abides in me, oh)

I need You
(Guess I want that) I need You
(You with me)
Abides in me, oh
Let's go, Davis
