I Need My Savior

Representative Text

1 When I am tried and sorely tempted,
Jesus calms my every fear;
When life’s sorrows sore afflict me;
Then I know my Saviour’s near.

Refrain:
O, I need Thee, yes, I need Thee,
Every day and every hour!
Thou art comforting and blessing,
Even now I feel Thy pow’r!

2 When foes unite and dangers threaten,
Jesus calms my every fear;
When my heart is heavy laden,
Then I feel my Saviour’s near. [Refrain]

3 When I’m despised, rebuked, forsaken,
Jesus calms my every fear;
When I’m weak, and flesh is failing,
Then I feel my Saviour’s near. [Refrain]

4 When in His promises I’m trusting,
Jesus calms my every fear;
When my heart is burning, glowing,
Then I know my Saviour’s near. [Refrain]

5 And when at last I reach death’s river,
He will calm my every fear;
Lead me on to be forever
With Him and the Father dear. [Refrain]
