I messed up. I am helpless on my own.
Not one likes to admit we can’t make it through this thing called life all by our selves. We need God.
Matt Maher‘s song, “Lord I Need Thee” is inspired by an old hymn and this huge need for a God.
“I think we live in a time and age where we want to be self-sufficient and self-reliant and self-determining. And so then, all of a sudden they hear a message at church on a Sunday where someone says, ‘You have to admit that you need God,’ it’s kind of uncomfortable for us.”
– Matt Maher
Matt talks about embracing our need for God and his inspiration for the song in this short video.
“I’ve found so much reassurance and so much hope in knowing that I need [a God] and every hour I need Him, every moment that I need Him, He is ready to meet my need.”
– Matt Maher
It’s a powerful thought. It’s ok to need help. The God that we desperately need really is here for us in every waking hour.
