We All Need

From a cardboard hovel in a darkened street

To the well-lit windows of a penthouse suite

All are desperate souls with a human fate

And we protect ourselves within the walls we make

And I stand in a corner now in my house of rest

And bow my head, beat my breast and say

"God please forgive me for this sinner's heart

Though you show me your mercy

It's the same old story keeping us apart"

And we all feel lost sometimes

And we all feel hurt inside

And we all cry and we all need

The redeeming love of Jesus

And I was raised down the lessons and the victory speech

And I fought for the standards that I could not reach

And I hold my tongue when the pain is great

And I cover my tears as we celebrate

While a private war rages with the fear and the doubt

As I try to run faster to find a way out

I'm convinced if I stumble they'll just cast me aside

And mock at my weakness and shatter my pride

'Cause I've watched as we've stoned

The more hesitant soul

So we all must remember it's still God's grace

We all need to know

We all feel lost sometimes

And we all feel hurt inside

And we all cry and we all need

And we all feel lost sometimes

And we all feel hurt inside

And we all cry and we all need

The redeeming love of Jesus

All feel lost sometimes

We all feel hurt

And we all cry

And we all need
