If We Ever Needed You

If there are song lyrics right now that utter the cries of my heart, it is the song If We've Ever Needed You by Casting Crowns. On so many fronts, my soul is desperate to see God's hand move in my life and the lives of loved ones.

If I have ever needed you Lord, the time is now. I seek You and praise You through these words and ask that You will touch my outstretched hand, Father. Grant healing and restoration and peace and comfort to my family and me. May the troubles and trials of this world never shipwreck our faith. Enable me to be faithful until my last breath is exhaled from my lungs.

Hear our cry, Lord, we pray
Our faces down, our hands are raised
You called us out, we turned away
We've turned away

With shipwrecked faith the idols rise
We do what is right in our own eyes
Our children now will pay the price
We need Your light, Lord, shine Your light

If we've ever needed You
Lord, it's now, Lord, it's now
We are desperate for Your hand
We're reaching out, we're reaching out

All our hearts, all our strength
With all our minds, we're at Your feet
May Your kingdom come in our hearts and lives
Let Your church arise, let Your church arise

If we've ever needed You
Lord, it's now, Lord, it's now
We are desperate for Your hand
We're reaching out, we're reaching out
We're reaching out

If we've ever needed You
Lord, it's now, Lord, it's now
We are desperate for Your hand
We're reaching out, we're reaching out

If we've ever needed You
Lord, it's now, Lord, it's now
We are desperate for Your hand
We're reaching out, reaching out

We need You now
Revive us now
We need You now
