I Need You Now

[Verse 1] I've never seen that little town where You were born It was long before my time and far away But as time goes on I think about You more and more And wonder what it was like in those day's I wish I could have walked with You You might have called me friend But there's no way I could've known You then [Chorus] But I know You now I know Your name A lot of awesome things You did and why You came I didn't know You when You helped that lame man rise up from his bed I didn't know You when You stood there and called Lazarus from the dead But I know You now [Verse 2] I didn't see You feed that tired hungry crowd With five loaves and two fish one afternoon And I didn't see You catch Peter's hand So he wouldn't drown When he tried the walk on water like You I couldn't see Your face When You taught those little kids There's just no way I could've seen You then [Chorus] But I see You now I see Your love I see a tiny glimpse of You in every one of us I didn't see You on the mount of olives Crying as You prayed I couldn't see You when You were kissed by Judus and betrayed But I see You now [Bridge] Oh, I didn't need You when that bitter angry mob Shouted out crucify him And I couldn't have needed You When they laughed and mocked You But it could be I'm a little bit like them [Chorus] Cause I need You now I need Your grace And how I needed Your forgiveness to be saved I didn't need You when Pilates soldiers beat You to the ground I didn't need You when You hung there Bleeding from Your thorny crown But I need You now [Outro] Oh, I need You now
