[Verse 1]
I lost the things I loved
Before I knew their weight
Now every room I walk in
Feels like a locked gate
Bottle by the bed
Cold truth in my hand
I say I’m in control
But I don’t understand
Mama hears my voice
And knows it’s getting thin
I keep on saying “I’m fine”
With a shake in my grin
I need a way back home
But pride won’t let me kneel
So I pour another cup
Just to hide what I feel
[Pre-Chorus]
I’m cracking in the dark
With my hands on my face
If You can still hear me
Meet me in this place
[Chorus]
I need Jesus, I need Jesus
Save me from the flood
I can’t wash out this heartbreak
With poison in my blood
I need Jesus, I need Jesus
Pull me from the deep
I’m still holding her name now
Like a promise I can’t keep (I need Jesus)
[Verse 2]
I never got to meet her
Still I know her smile
Her name stays in my mouth
Like it’s been there all the while
I picture tiny fingers
And a laugh I never heard
A little dress by the window
And a room full of her words
I got a box of grief
I carry everywhere
Some days I open it up
Then I can’t breathe air
Tell me how to grieve
When the grave ain’t got a stone
When I’m father to a memory
And a child I never held at home
[Pre-Chorus]
I’m cracking in the dark
With my hands on my face
If You can still hear me
Meet me in this place
[Chorus]
I need Jesus, I need Jesus
Save me from the flood
I can’t wash out this heartbreak
With poison in my blood
I need Jesus, I need Jesus
Pull me from the deep
I’m still holding her name now
Like a promise I can’t keep (I need Jesus)
[Bridge]
If mercy got a doorway
I’m standing at the frame
I don’t need pretty answers
I just need Someone to call my name
I been running from the healing
But I’m tired of the chase
If You can take this breaking
Then take me as I am
[Final Chorus]
I need Jesus, I need Jesus
Save me from the flood
I can’t wash out this heartbreak
With poison in my blood
I need Jesus, I need Jesus
Pull me from the deep
I’m still holding her name now
Like a promise I can’t keep (I need Jesus)
