I Need You
by Gable Price and Friends

Album: If I'm Being Honest

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 won't 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 in the 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
