Dear Lord, I Need Thee

Verse 1

Dear Lord, I need Thee all the time, The road is rough and steep; And only as I trust to Thee, The way to heaven I keep; My sins a heavy burden are; No peace, no rest I know; Dear Lord, until Thy blessing comes, How can I let Thee go?

Chorus

I cannot let Thee go, I dare not let Thee go; Dear Lord, until Thy blessing comes, I will not let Thee go.

Verse 2

Temptations meet me everywhere, To lure my heart from Thee; I cannot fight them, Lord, alone; Wilt Thou my helper be? This heart of mine, so stained with sin, O wash it white, like snow; Dear Lord, unto Thy blessing comes, How dare I let Thee go?

Verse 3

Dear Lord, I cannot walk alone, My heart is full of fear; I falter in the way of heaven Unless I feel Thee near; But when I touch Thy loving hand, What rest and peace I know! Dear Lord, until Thy blessing comes, I will not let Thee go.
