Couplet 1

If perfect was a race with a finish line
I'd be in last place every single time
Anyone who knows me knows it's no surprise
I need Jesus

Couplet 2

My strong's never been quite strong enough
My past ain't ever been quite gone enough
My prone to wander yeah it always likes to trip me up
I need Jesus

Pré refrain

But ain't no weakness
In being weak
Ain't no secret what I need

Refrain

I need mercy I need grace
I need a second chance
Every second of the day
I need a Savior who calls me redeemed
There ain't nothing in this world
That my heart needs
Like I need Jesus

Couplet 3

The enemy never seems to wanna let me go
Says you got what it takes to make it on your own
But I've been there and I came back just to let you know
I need Jesus

Pré refrain

But ain't no weakness
In being weak
Ain't no secret
What this sinner needs

Refrain

I need mercy I need grace
I need a second chance
Every second of the day
I need a Savior who calls me redeemed
There ain't nothing in this world
That my heart needs
Like I need Jesus

Pont

Like the woman at the well
I need Jesus
Like David when he fell
I need Jesus
Like Jonah when he ran
I need Jesus
Like Daniel in the den
I need Jesus
Like Peter on the water
I need Jesus
Like Thomas The Doubter
I need Jesus
Like all Your sons and daughters
I need Jesus
Every minute of every hour

Refrain

I need mercy I need grace
I need a second chance
Every second of the day
I need a Savior who calls me redeemed
There ain't nothing in this world
That my heart needs
Like I need Jesus
