Like a ship, lost out at sea I was lost, until You rescued me Just like a shepherd searchin' for that one lost sheep Lord, You searched and searched, until You found me, yes You did And there I was, I was tremblin', tremblin' with fear and Lord I saw you smile As you wiped away my tears You told me not to worry, as You held me, oh so tight And You rea**ured me that everything would be alright So I'm singin' my song to You... That's why I needed You I need You, I needed You That's why I needed You Ohhh, you see I'll never make it on my own Ohh no, That's why I needed You You see, I hate to think, just where I would be Lord, if You hadn't come when You did and rescued me Maybe I'd be somewhere lonely, feelin' sorry for myself As I cried and cried and it seemed as though I couldn't find any help But then somebody told me, You were a Healer of broken hearts And all I had to do was ask, and You'd give me a brand new start So Lord, You forgave me and You saved me You did just what they were sayin' And my soul is so happy, and right now my soul is glad And I'd me glad to say... That's why I needed You You eased my troubled mind That's why I needed You You see I couldn't make it I couldn't take it on my own, ohhh That's why I needed You I wanna tell you, no I couldn't make it on my own Oh, That's why I needed You, Jesus That's why I needed You I never could make it You see I never could take it Not without You Never could make it on my own I never could have made it Never could make it without You, You, You I never could take it I never could make it on my own Ohhh, I never could make it I never could take it I never could make it without You I never could make it Never could take it I never could make it without You Never could take it Never could make it without You...
