LYRICS:

I need Thee, O Lord I need Thee
Every hour I need Thee
O bless me now, my Savior
I come to Thee

When I was a boy, just sitting’ by her side
Grandma rocked me gently, her hum a lullaby
Morning sun was rising’, evening light would fade
Her melody would linger, like a prayer she made
Didn’t know the words, but oh, it felt so right
Peace would fill the room, morning, noon, and night

I need Thee every hour, most gracious Lord
No tender voice like Thy can peace afford

I need Thee, O Lord I need Thee
Every hour I need Thee
O bless me now, my Savior
I come to Thee

One day I asked her, “Grandma, why you hum so strong?”
She laughed and pulled me closer, said, “Child, it helps you stay strong
When trouble comes a-knocking’ and words just won’t come out
A little hum of faith will scatter fear and doubt
The devil can’t decipher what your heart is sayin’
So hum to the Lord, and He’ll hear what you’re praying’”

I need Thee every hour, stay Thou nearby
Temptations lose their power
When Thou art nigh

I need Thee, O Lord I need Thee
Every hour I need Thee
O bless me now, my Savior
I come to Thee

She said, “The enemy is listening’, trying to steal your song
But when you hum in faith, he don’t know what’s goin’ on
So when your heart is heavy and the words won’t flow
Let the Spirit guide your hum, let His mercy show
Now every hour I need Him, just like Grandma taught me then
I hum my way through storms, and I rise to pray again”

I need Thee every hour, in joy or pain
Come quickly and abide
Or life is vain

I need Thee, O Lord I need Thee
Every hour I need Thee
O bless me now, my Savior
I come to Thee

Mmm… mmm… ooooh… mmm…
Mmm… mmm… yeah, mmm…
Mmm… oooh… mmm… mmm…
Mmm… mmm… let it rise… mmm…

Now I hum like Grandma did, through trials and through pain
Every hour I need Him, He’s my shelter in the rain
The devil may be listening’, but he don’t understand
When I hum unto my Savior, I am held in His hand (oooh…)

I need Thee, O Lord I need Thee
Every hour I need Thee
O bless me now, my Savior
I come to Thee

( “I come to Thee… I come to Thee…”)
