Rich Mullins - You Still Need Jesus Lyrics

And I see you there just apart from me Under skies that hang so heavily The road that struggles through And I've come to see you off with the love That's come to mean so much to me For what it's worth to you Time won't wait to take you along Beyond where I could go Though your soul is free and your heart is strong I hope you know that you

You still need Jesus Though your foolish heart may lie To keep you clinging To the emptiness of your pride Will you let it break you Or will you lay it down Before there's nowhere left to turn to No time left to turn around

And now the evening falls the shadows rise out From behind those far horizons Forever out of reach And though the night may sting like ice around you The storms may toss you as they're bound to Still you must believe You'll have scars to show for where you've been And your eyes will tell it all So as you survive to sink or swim To rise or fall well you

You still need Jesus Though your foolish heart may lie To keep you clinging To the emptiness of your pride Will you let it break you Or will you lay it down Before there's nowhere left to turn to No time left to turn around

And though the pack is at your heels And though your back is breaking Your heart is lonely as the day is long The path ahead He pioneered And He will be there taking you into the sky And far beyond And you

You still need Jesus Though your foolish heart may lie To keep you clinging To the emptiness of your pride Will you let it break you Or will you lay it down Before there's nowhere left to turn to No time left to turn around
