Song Lyrics: I Needed God (feat. Lecrae) by Tasha Cobbs Leonard
I was so used to sweating the small things
Putting all my focus where it didn’t need to be
Trolling through the comments just to clap back
Lost focus, I was headed down the wrong track
People who loved me tried to reach me
Don’t need another sermon you ain’t gotta preach to me
I was helpless, standing in my own way
I needed a hero to come and save the day
I was under water You were my life guard
Your way was always easy, I just made it hard
I needed God
I needed God
It took a while but I figured out
I needed hope
I needed something different
I needed love
I felt there was something missing
And I, I needed God
I beat the odds
I beat the charge
I needed God in my space
Took all my flaws
Round of applause
Give it my all everyday
Swallow my pride like I don’t need nobody
No need to flex when you know you ain’t got it
I had no business inside of that party
But You took me out and You got me restarted
Got me restarted like vroom-vroom
Walking around with the who’s who’s
Without the Lord on my side ain’t no way to survive
Every game is a lose lose
You pulled me out of the pit
Parted the sea with a stick
When You shoot You never miss
You hit my heart ain’t no way to resist
You’re love it don’t get no realer than this
I needed peace
I needed something different
I needed joy
I felt there was something missing
And I, I needed God
To know that I’ve found You
Just know I’m not going anywhere
You’re all that I needed
You were always right there
