Recorded live 5/4/13 by Ashley Peacock from Cathedral Studios ( www.facebook.com/CathedralStudios ) complete with the sound of weed whackers from the neighbors, chatting, kids crying, and more. The reality of church singing. Album "cover" photo by Daniel Kersey, www.kerseyphoto.com
lyrics
I need thee every hour, most gracious Lord; no tender voice like thine can peace afford.
I need thee, O I need thee; every hour I need thee;
O bless me now, my Savior, I come to thee.
I need thee every hour; stay thou nearby;
temptations lose their power when thou art nigh. (Refrain)
I need thee every hour, in joy or pain;
come quickly and abide, or life is vain. (Refrain)
I need thee every hour; teach me thy will;
and thy rich promises in me fulfill. (Refrain)
I need thee every hour, most Holy One;
O make me thine indeed, thou blessed Son. (Refrain)
