WHY WE NEED GOD

I NEED THEE, O I NEED THEE

He gives eternal life

He provides us with everything we need

He alone can forgive sins

He protects us

He provides wisdom & guidance

Psalm 42:1–2 NASB95

As the deer pants for the water brooks, So my soul pants for You, O God. My soul thirsts for God, for the living God; When shall I come and appear before God?

Psalm 63:1–8 NASB95

O God, You are my God; I shall seek You earnestly; My soul thirsts for You, my flesh yearns for You, In a dry and weary land where there is no water. Thus I have seen You in the sanctuary, To see Your power and Your glory. Because Your lovingkindness is better than life, My lips will praise You. So I will bless You as long as I live; I will lift up my hands in Your name. My soul is satisfied as with marrow and fatness, And my mouth offers praises with joyful lips. When I remember You on my bed, I meditate on You in the night watches, For You have been my help, And in the shadow of Your wings I sing for joy. My soul clings to You; Your right hand upholds me.

We need God.

Ps. 63:1-8

It is not until we feel in the depths of our souls our utter poverty without Christ, our bankruptcy of any inherent righteousness, the impotence of our own strength and self-sufficient planning, our inconsolable loneliness when we are out of fellowship with God, the pathetic pretentiousness of our pathological pride, the hollow emptiness of all the godless gain of the world, our utter helplessness in the face of personal, institutional, cosmic, and molecular evil, that we know just how much we need God.

I NEED THEE EVERY HOUR

I long to hear your word

feel your strength

wrapped up in your love

I NEED THE IN TEMPTATION

I NEED THEE JOY

I NEED THEE IN PAIN

WITHOUT THEE LIFE IS VAIN

I COME TO THEE

James 4:8 NASB95

Draw near to God and He will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners; and purify your hearts, you double-minded.

’m all Wrapped Up Tied Up Tangled In Jesus

SONG: In need of grace

In need of love,

In need of mercy raining down

From high above.

In need of strength

In need of peace,

In need of things t

that only You can give to me.

In need of Christ

The perfect Lamb,

My refuge strong

The great I Am.

This is my song,

My humble plea:

I am Your child

I am in need.

John 15:5 NASB95

“I am the vine, you are the branches; he who abides in Me and I in him, he bears much fruit, for apart from Me you can do nothing.

2 Corinthians 3:4–5 NASB95

Such confidence we have through Christ toward God. Not that we are adequate in ourselves to consider anything as coming from ourselves, but our adequacy is from God,
