I Need You Now - Billy Ray Cyrus

I’ve never seen that little town where You were born

It was long before my time and far away

But as time goes on I think about You more and more

And wonder what it was like in those day’s

I wish I could have walked with You

You might have called me friend

But there’s no way I could’ve known You then

But I know You now

I know Your name

A lot of awesome things You did and why You came

I didn’t know You when

You helped that lame man rise up from his bed

I didn’t know You when

You stood there and called Lazarus from the dead

But I know You now

I didn’t see You feed that tired hungry crowd

With five loaves and two fish one afternoon

And I didn’t see You catch Peter’s hand

So he wouldn’t drown

When he tried the walk on water like You

I couldn’t see Your face

When You taught those little kids

There’s just no way I could’ve seen You then

But I see You now

I see Your love

I see a tiny glimpse of You in every one of us

I didn’t see You on the mount of olives

Crying as You prayed

I couldn’t see You when You were kissed by Judus and betrayed

But I see You now

Oh, I didn’t need You when that bitter angry mob

Shouted out crucify him

And I couldn’t have needed You

When they laughed and mocked You

But it could be I’m a little bit like them

Cause I need You now

I need Your grace

And how I needed Your forgiveness to be saved

I didn’t need You when Pilates soldiers beat You to the ground

I didn’t need You when You hung there

Bleeding from Your thorny crown

But I need You now

Oh, I need You now
