I need you now (Extended Mix)

Bills on the table, More than I can pay Another door closed Another hard day I’ve been counting every dollar Watching every dime Trying to keep this whole thing standing While I’m falling behind Everybody says, “Keep going” Like I don’t know how to fight But I’ve been fighting for so long, Lord I got nothing left tonight ⸻ [Pre-Chorus] I don’t need another answer From somebody passing through I don’t need another promise Lord, I just need You ⸻ [Chorus] I need You now Not tomorrow, not someday I need Your hand reaching down Before I lose my way I need You now When the money’s running out When my body’s getting tired And my heart is full of doubt I’ve tried standing on my own But I don’t know how God, if You can hear me— I need You now ⸻ [Verse 2] There’s a weight inside my chest That I carry everywhere Smiling when I have to Breaking when nobody’s there And this body’s been reminding me I’m not as strong as I pretend Some mornings I wake wondering When this season’s gonna end I’ve prayed for doors to open I’ve prayed for better days But maybe what I need the most Is strength while I still wait ⸻ [Pre-Chorus] ’Cause I’m scared of what comes next And I’m tired of pushing through I don’t need to understand it Lord, I just need You ⸻ [Chorus] I need You now Not tomorrow, not someday I need Your hand reaching down Before I lose my way I need You now When the money’s running out When my body’s getting tired And my heart is full of doubt I’ve tried standing on my own But I don’t know how God, if You can hear me— I need You now ⸻ [Bridge — drums build, vocal starts restrained] I need You in the waiting I need You in the pain I need You when the doctor Says my life might have to change I need You when the numbers Don’t add up anymore I need You when I’m staring At another closing door I need You for my family I need You for my mind I need You when I’m wondering If I’m running out of time [Bridge — vocal rises] I don’t need riches overnight I don’t need every answer clear Just remind me I’m not walking Through this valley without You here ⸻ [Breakdown — piano only] Lord… I’m tired. I’m scared. And I don’t know what else to do. So I’m calling Your name With everything I’ve got left. ⸻ [Final Chorus — full band, choir underneath] I need You now Not tomorrow, not someday Come and meet me in this darkness Come and make a way I need You now When the money’s running out When my body’s getting tired And my heart is full of doubt I’ve tried standing on my own But I’m laying it down God, if You can hear me— I need You now I need You now For the strength to face the morning I need You now For the faith to keep on walking I need You now Even if the road gets long If You’re standing here beside me I know I can hold on ⸻ [Outro — stripped back] I don’t know how You’ll do it I don’t know when or how But I still believe You hear me… And God… I need You now. (soft background vocal) I need You… I need You now…
