A young woman’s beautiful cover of the popular praise and worship song “Lord, I Need You” will touch your heart.

This world will try and test your patience and push you to your breaking point. Situations and circumstances will leave you battered and bruised, leaving scars in their wake that serve as reminders. Times will arise that will pull, stretch and test your faith.

Life can be a challenging and brutal experience, leaving even the most mentally and physically tough person shattered and broken. Sadly, there are people who, every day, try to make it through by their own power and sheer force of will. This attitude and course of action is a recipe for disaster and destruction.

God will and does offer His love, guidance and protection. But before that can happen, we must realize that we are incredibly limited and unable to do much alone. We would fall apart if not for Him. Even those who have long been committed followers of Jesus Christ still need God’s touch and protection.

In a clip posted on YouTube, one young woman gives a superb performance of “Lord, I Need You.” It’s a beautiful tune about surrendering everything to Him and laying all cares, worries, burdens and concerns at His feet.

The song’s lovely chorus, simple but highly effective and memorable, emphasizes how much we need God in control of every aspect of our lives.

“Lord, I need You, oh, I need You

Every hour, I need You

My one defense, my righteousness

Oh God, how I need You”

Situations in life will weigh you down, both physically and mentally. There is simply no way of handling all the cares and worries that come with life alone. But there is one who wants our burdens. We can give everything to Him, and He will work in those situations and circumstances.

Matthew 11:28 “Come to me, all you who are troubled and weighted down with care, and I will give you rest.”
