We All Need

From a cardboard hovel in a darkened street

To the well-lit windows of a penthouse suite,

All are desperate souls with a human fate,

And we protect ourselves within the walls we make.

And I stand in a corner, now, in my house of rest

And bow my head, beat my breast and say,

"God, please forgive me for this sinner's heart!

Though You show me your mercy,

It's the same old story keeping us apart."

And we all feel lost sometimes,

And we all feel hurt inside,

And we all cry, and we all need

The redeeming love of Jesus.

And I was raised with the lessons and the victory speech,

And I fought for the standards that I could not reach,

And I hold my tongue when the pain is great,

And I cover my tears as we celebrate,

While a private war rages with the fear and the doubt,

As I try to run faster to find a way out

I'm convinced if I stumble they'll just cast me aside,

And mock at my weakness and shatter my pride.

'Cause I've watched as we've stoned the more hesitant soul.

So, we all must remember,

It's still God's grace we all need to know.

We all feel lost sometimes,

And we all feel hurt inside,

And we all cry, and we all need!

And we all feel lost sometimes,

And we all feel hurt inside,

And we all cry, and we all need

The redeeming love of Jesus.

Yeah!

All feel lost sometimes,

We all feel hurt,

And we all cry,

And we all need.
