God, it's safe to say it's been a tough year The hardest one we've ever seen The world has never cried so many tears Or had so many broken dreams We've got some bad things going on around us We're killing each other senselessly It seems we've learned to hate instead of love I guess what I'm really trying to say We need You We need You We need You God, we need You I know soon it's Your Son's birthday And You must cry when it comes around He gave His life for us and a better way The day that cross hit the ground So when we celebrate this Christmas I hope You'll forgive us all somehow And as our children open presents I'll be praying for them now They need You They need You They need You God, they need You We need You to get us through I need You God, I need You Jesus love's me, this I know For the Bible tells me so Little ones to Him belong We are weak but He is strong
