If perfect was a race with a finish line
I'd be in last place every single time
Anyone who knows me, knows it's no surprise
I need Jesus

My strong's never been quite strong enough
My past ain't ever been quite gone enough
My prone to wander yeah it always likes to trip me up
Aye, I need Jesus

But ain't no weakness
In being weak
Ain't no secret
What I need

I need mercy
I need grace
I need a second chance
Every second of the day
I need a Savior who calls me redeemed
There ain't nothing in this world that my heart needs
Like I need Jesus

Like I need Jesus

The enemy never seems to wanna let me go
Says you got what it takes to make it on your own
But I've been there and I came back just to let you know
I need Jesus

Ain't no weakness
In being weak
Ain't no secret
What this sinner needs

I need mercy
I need grace
I need a second chance every second of the day
I need a Savior who calls me redeemed
There ain't nothing in this world that my heart needs
Like I need Jesus

Oh, I need Jesus

Like the woman at the well (I need Jesus)
Like David when he fell (I need Jesus)
Like Jonah when he ran (I need Jesus)
Like Daniel in the den (I need Jesus)

Like Peter on the water (I need Jesus)
Like Thomas The Doubter (I need Jesus)
Like all your sons and daughters (I need Jesus)
Every minute of every hour (I need Jesus)

I need mercy
I need grace
I need a second chance every second of the day
I need a savior who calls me redeemed
There ain't nothing in this world that my heart needs
Like I need Jesus

I need Jesus
(I can't make it without You Lord)
I need Jesus
I need Jesus
