every hour

This morning on our way to church, I stopped in the driveway after backing out of the garage so I could rifle through the CD case we keep in the car.  I was in search of a homemade disc that was a gift from my sister a couple years ago.  Redemption Songs by Jars of Clay.  I hadn't heard it in awhile and couldn't find it in the bulging black case that is hidden under the driver seat.  There was one song in particular I was eager to sing to my Lord this morning.  With no success, I reached for my second choice of music instead.


We arrived at our church.  Babydoll Sis helped greet people entering the building as she and I stood in the doorway of the nursery awaiting more kids to join her.  The worship service got underway.  The nursery started filling up.  Suddenly I heard the very song I was hoping to hear on my way to church coming from the sanctuary.  I really should just have it playing on a continuous loop throughout my house.  Enjoy! 

note: The song lyrics are posted below. 

I need Thee every hour, most gracious Lord
No tender voice like Thine can peace afford

I need Thee every hour, stay Thou nearby
Temptations lose their power
When Thou art nigh

I need thee, oh, I need thee, every hour I need Thee
I need thee, I need thee, I need Thee every hour

I need Thee every hour in joy or pain
Come quickly and abide or life is in vain
I need Thee, oh, I need Thee, every hour I need Thee
I need Thee, I need Thee, I need Thee every hour
I need Thee, I need Thee, I need Thee every hour

Oh, bless me now, my Savior, I come to Thee
Oh, bless me now, my Savior, I come to Thee
I need Thee every hour, teach me Thy will
And Thy rich promises in me fulfill

I need Thee, oh, I need Thee
Oh I need Thee every hour
I need Thee, I need Thee, I need Thee every hour
I need Thee, I need Thee, I need Thee every hour

Oh, bless me now, my Savior, I come to Thee
