The Jesus I Need Lyrics by John Waller

As for Me and My House

2011

[Verse 1]
She was desperate
Down to her last hope
Now she crawls on her hands and her knees
Through a crowd on a dusty road
If she could touch Him
She knew He could make her well
Reaching and straining
She touched His garment, healing fell
[Chorus]
And this is the Jesus I want
Friend of the broken and weak
And what He did for her
I know He'll do for me
This is the Jesus I want
Giver of life and peace
Still today He's reaching out to you and me
This is the Jesus I need
[Verse 2]
Tormented
He had lost his mind
There was nothing but evil and anguish
There in those cold dark eyes
But the day would come
Everyone would know
That the words of this Jesus
Could set free the captive and make them whole
[Chorus]
And this is the Jesus I want
Friend of the broken and weak
And what He did for him
I know He'll do for me
This is the Jesus I want
Giver of life and peace
Still today He's reaching out to you and me
This is the Jesus I need
[Bridge]
More than a storybook fable
He is alive and He's able
To rescue anyone who believes
[Chorus]
And this is the Jesus I want
Friend of the broken and weak
And what He did for them
I know He'll do for you and me
This is the Jesus I want
Giver of life and peace
And still today He's reaching out to you and me
This is the Jesus I need
This is the Jesus I need
[Outro]
Jesus, Jesus, how I trust Him
How I proved Him more and more
Jesus, Jesus, how I trust Him
How I proved Him more and more
