Lyrics
For we need yes we need
Jesus now more than ever
He healed the blind man
Walked on the waters
And He raised up
Jairius' daughter
He fed the hungry
Cleansed the leper
But we need Jesus now
More than ever
Jesus now more than ever
We are sailing in stormy weather
All His children should get together
For we need Jesus now more than ever
He touched the lame man
And he started walking
He touched the dumb man
And he started talking
He put their lives all
Back together
But we need Jesus now
More than ever
In the book of Revelation
Read about the Tribulation
We are heading in that direction
Only Jesus' blood can give protection

Meaning & Inspiration
Jesus Now More Than Ever sets accounts of Christ’s miracles beside an urgent confession of present dependence on him. The verses recall sight restored, water crossed, the hungry fed, a leper cleansed, and Jairus’s daughter raised. Each example portrays Jesus as compassionate and able to restore lives, while the recurring chorus gathers his children around a shared need for him amid stormy conditions.
The miracle list broadly reflects the Gospel witness summarized in passages such as Matthew 11:4-5, and the reference to Jairus’s daughter points specifically to the account of Jesus taking the child by the hand and raising her. The final verse turns toward Revelation and tribulation, expressing the song’s sense of urgency through end-times imagery. Its central emphasis remains dependence on Christ rather than prediction: remembered acts of healing support the repeated appeal for Jesus in present trouble. The call for God’s children to gather also gives the chorus a communal dimension, joining confidence in Christ’s past works with hope in his saving care.
