I Need You by Gable Price and Friends Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I broke my wrist
Punching through a wall in the parsonage
The congregation can't see me crying
I've got a swollen eye
From wrestling my demons every night
And Uncle Screwtape will be my last one

[Pre-Chorus]
I've got two spare tires
And far more county lines than exit signs
I'm on this road until my engine dies

[Chorus]
I need You if I'm being honest
I haven't been honest in a couple odd years now
I need You
If the land I take is another step away from You, I don't want it
I've got a heavy foot, we're pushing ninety-five
I'm speeding down Your road until the engine dies
I need You
[Verse 2]
Righteous rage
Hold me deep inside the tension everyday
Can anger be holy if you don't let it eat
Clean through you?
I'm an optimist
When I close my eyes and unclench my fist
And if pain's a new mindset then so is denial
Oh-oh-oh-oh

[Chorus]
If I'm being honest
I haven't been honest in a couple odd years now
I need You
If the land I take is another step away from You, I don't want it
I've got a heavy foot, we're pushing ninety-five
I'm speeding down Your road until the engine dies, oh-oh-oh
I need You

[Post-Chorus]
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh
I need You
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh

[Verse 3]
"You gotta let it hurt
Our image is the only thing we're worth
His is the Kingdom and yours is the church
Smile with your teeth
Your bruises make a lovely accessory
Have some guts, kid, this is ministry
Have some guts, kid, this is ministry"
[Chorus]
I need You, oh-oh-oh, mm-mm
I need You
I need You if I'm being honest
I haven't been honest in a couple odd years now
I need You
If the land I take is another step away from You, I don't want it
I've got a heavy foot, we're pushing ninety-five, oh-oh-oh-oh
I'm speeding down Your road until the engine dies, oh-oh
I need You

[Post-Chorus]
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh
I need You, I need You
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh
