I am frail, broken easily
Without fail, my strength keeps failing me
All alone, I'm powerless
To lift myself from the pit that I am in

I need You, Jesus
I need You, Jesus

From Your throne in heaven's light
Descended down into my broken life
To right the wrong, to make a way
To bear the load that I deserved to bear alone

I need You, Jesus
I need You, Jesus
I need clean hands
I can't, You can
I need You, Jesus

On the cross on our behalf
The Son of God bore the Father's wrath
And by His blood, the scars and pain
The perfect Son, took the fall and took our place

I need You, Jesus
I need You, Jesus
I need clean hands
I can't, You can
I need You, Jesus

In His grace and unfailing love
The risen King gave His hand to us
To lift us up, from the pit
And set our feet upon a rock that ever stands

I need You, Jesus
I need You, Jesus
I need clean hands
I can't, You can
I need You, Jesus

On my own I've tried and tried
To save myself, to fill my life
But the more I do the more I find
That I need You, I need You, I need You
