March

Greetings! So it’s not often that I get to write the article for the newsletter so when I do, I like to do it from a musical viewpoint. I would like us to look at one of my favorite songs called, “Lord, I Need You” by Matt Maher. This song is so beautiful, and slap full of truths! We have done it for a few weeks, but I would like to take the time to go a little deeper with the song. This song is literally taken straight from scripture. The lyrics below may look confusing because of all the scripture references jammed in there, but please take the time to read the scriptures that go with the song.

 

Lord, I come, I confess ( John 1:9) Bowing here I find my rest (Jeremiah 6:16, Matthew 11:29, John 14:27) Without You I fall apart (Colossians 1:17, Hebrews 1:3) You’re the One that guides my heart (Proverbs 3:5-6)  
                                                                                                                                                                                                                       [Chorus:]                                                                                                                                                  
Lord, I need You, oh, I need You (Psalm 40:17, Psalm 70:5, Psalm 86:1, Philippians 4:19, Hebrews 4:16) Every hour I need. You My one defense, (Hebrews 7:25, 1 John 2:1) my righteousness (Romans 1:17, 1 Corinthians 1:26-31, Philippians 3:8-9) Oh God, how I need You    
        
[Verse:]                  
Where sin runs deep Your grace is more (Romans 5:20-21) Where grace is found is where You are (2 Timothy 2:1)And where You are, Lord, I am free (2 Corinthians 3:17) Holiness is Christ in me (John 14:23, Romans 8:9-10, Galatians 2:20, Ephesians 3:16-17, Colossians 1:27)    
                                                                                    
[Bridge:]                                                                                                                                                      
Teach my song to rise to You (Psalm 33:3, Psalm 119:11) When temptation comes my way (Matthew 6:13, Matthew 26:41, Luke 11:4, Luke 22:40, 1 Corinthians 10:13, James 4:7) And when I cannot stand I’ll fall on You (2 Corinthians 12:9-10) Jesus, You’re my hope and stay (1 Corinthians 3:11, 1 Timothy 1:1, Titus 2:13, 1 Peter 1:3-5, 1 Peter 5:10)
 

Thank you for taking the time to look at this. I encourage you to come to choir practice Sunday nights at 6. Right now we are working on music for our Easter service this year! I would love to have you join us!

God Bless,

Tyler
