I’m at the place of need again
Where darkened fear eclipses love
Where anxious thoughts come rushing in
How I need you, how I need you
I’m at the place of need again
Where silence is your only voice
Where darkness is my only friend
How I need you, how I need you
I hunger and thirst for you, O God
I hang every hope on you, O God
Where else can I go but you, O God?
How I need you, how I need you
I’m at the place of need again
Where peace is lost as doubts arise
I’m breaking down and wearing thin
How I need you, how I need you
I hunger and thirst for you, O God
I hang every hope on you, O God
Where else can I go but you, O God?
How I need you, how I need you
I’m at the place of need again
Where friends are far and clouds are near
Where loneliness hides every ray
How I need you, how I need you
Give me Jesus…
I hunger and thirst for you, O God
I hang every hope on you, O God
Where else can I go but you, O God?
How I need you, how I need you

All seeing God, you see my deeds;
You see my faults by light of day.
You see my sins concealed in darkness:
Turn my deeds to holy ways;
Turn my deeds to holy ways.
All hearing God, you hear my words;
You hear each lie, each hurtful phrase.
You hear my pride in secret slander:
Turn my tongue to truth and grace;
Turn my tongue to truth and grace.
Take away my love of sinning,
Straighten every bent desire;
Fix my soul upon your promise:
Take my heart with altar fire;
Take my heart with altar fire.
All knowing God, you know my heart;
You know my yearnings deep inside;
You know my hidden motivations:
Turn my heart to pure delight;
Turn my heart to pure delight.
Take away my love of sinning,
Straighten every bent desire;
Fix my soul upon your promise:
Take my heart with altar fire;
Take my heart with altar fire.
Fire of God, consume my heart;
And burn it down to only faith,
Til all that’s left of me is only you.
Christ my glory, Christ my praise.
Take away my love of sinning,
Straighten every bent desire;
Fix my soul upon your promise:
Take my heart with altar fire;
Take my heart with altar fire.

I have drunk down the dregs of every cistern;
I wanted more, I wanted more.
Yet these brief satisfactions never fill me;
I want no more, I want no more.
You’re my portion
And you are enough
You’re my portion
And you are enough
Help me believe it
That you are enough
Be my bread, be my cup, evermore.
I have sought every cure for all my aching;
I wanted more, I wanted more.
Yet these comforts can never heal my hurting;
I want no more, I want no more;
I want no more, I want no more.
You’re my portion
And you are enough
You’re my portion
And you are enough
Help me believe it
That you are enough
Be my bread, be my cup, evermore.
Christ, be my joy in sorrow;
Christ, be my love in loneliness.
Be my portion; Jesus, be my portion.
Christ, be my rock in trembling;
Christ, be my anchor in the deep.
Be my portion; Jesus, be my portion.
Christ, be my calm in fury;
Christ, be my pow’r that crushes fear.
Be my portion; Jesus, be my portion.
Christ, be my peace in waiting;
Christ, be my justice in the fight.
Be my portion; Jesus, be my portion.
You’re my portion
And you are enough
You’re my portion
And you are enough
Help me believe it
That you are enough
Be my bread, be my cup, evermore.

As every thirsting creature longs,
My spirit longs for you,
When can I go to be with you?
When can I go to be with you?
My tears have been my daily bread,
O Lord, instead of you,
When can I go to be with you?
When can I go to be with you?
It’s hard to remember
The days with your people
When your presence was strong and sweet
Why are you downcast, O my soul?
Why do my troubles own me?
Hope in God, hope in God
Soul, won’t you praise him?
Why are you downcast, O my soul?
Why do my troubles own me?
Hope in God, hope in God
Still I will praise him, my God.
The deepest valleys of my heart,
Are sounding to your depths,
When can I go to be with you?
When can I go to be with you?
So why are you not hearing as
I waste away to death,
When can I go to be with you?
When can I go to be with you?
It’s hard to remember
The days with your people
When your presence was strong and sweet
Why are you downcast, O my soul?
Why do my troubles own me?
Hope in God, hope in God
Soul, won’t you praise him?
Why are you downcast, O my soul?
Why do my troubles own me?
Hope in God, hope in God
Still I will praise him, my God.
My God, my God
Be my rescue, my refuge, my strength
My God, my God
You are my rescue, my refuge, my strength.
Be my rescue, my refuge, my faith.
Why are you downcast, O my soul?
Why do my troubles own me?
Hope in God, hope in God
Soul, won’t you praise him?
Why are you downcast, O my soul?
Why do my troubles own me?
Hope in God, hope in God
Still I will praise him, my God.

You are holy, and I am not;
You are holy, and I am not.
You are holy, and I am not:
You must increase, and I must decrease.
You are perfect, and I am not;
You are perfect, and I am not.
You are perfect, and I am not:
You must increase, and I must decrease.
You are wisdom, and I am not;
You are wisdom, and I am not.
You are wisdom, and I am not:
You must increase, and I must decrease.
Your grace is all I need,
For your power, works best in weakness.
Your grace is all I need:
You must increase, and I must decrease.
4. You are faithful, and I am not;
You are faithful, and I am not.
You are faithful, and I am not:
You must increase, and I must decrease.
5. You are in control, and I am not;
You are in control, and I am not.
You are in control, and I am not:
You must increase, and I must decrease.
Your grace is all I need,
For your power, works best in weakness.
Your grace is all I need:
You must increase, and I must decrease.
I have been crucified with Christ (echo)
No longer I, but Christ who lives (echo)
The life I now live, I live by faith (echo)
In the Son who gave himself for me (echo)
Your grace is all I need,
For your power, works best in weakness.
Your grace is all I need:
You must increase, and I must decrease.
