I can fool my closest friends
I can fool my loved ones too
I can fool myself, but then
Lord I know I can’t fool you
I am walking wounded, broken
I want back the joy I knew
I need something real to hope and
Jesus what I need is you
I don’t need a voice of thunder
For me to believe it’s true
I don’t need a sign or wonder
Jesus what I need is you
I’ve been such a great pretender
But it’s wearying on my soul
I’ve no terms for my surrender
Help me Jesus make me whole
I don’t need a voice of thunder
For me to believe it’s true
I don’t need a sign or wonder
Jesus what I need is you
I’m so tired of being afraid
Sadness knocking on my door
If you can fix this mess I’ve made
Take me, take me now: I’m yours
I don’t need a voice of thunder
For me to believe it’s true
I don’t need a sign or wonder
Jesus what I need is you
Oh, Jesus what I need is you
