I Need Thee, Precious Jesus
Finding Redemption in Precious Jesus: A Soul's Cry for Cleansing and Comfort
Lyrics
I need Thee, precious Jesus
I acknowledge my need for you, Jesus, recognizing your value.
For I am full of sin
I am burdened by sin and seek your presence for redemption.
My soul is dark and guilty
My soul is burdened with darkness and guilt due to sin.
My heart is dead within

I need the cleansing fountain
I desire the purifying source of grace where I can always find refuge.
Where I can always flee
This cleansing fountain is essential for continuous renewal.
The blood of Christ most precious
The sacrificial blood of Christ is the perfect plea for sinners.
The sinner's perfect plea
It serves as the ultimate justification for sinners before God.
I need Thee, precious Jesus
I need you, Jesus, as a comforting and reliable friend.
I need a friend like Thee
A friend who can provide solace and support in times of need.
A friend to soothe and comfort

A friend to care for me
Your heart, Jesus, is needed to empathize with my concerns.
I need the heart of Jesus
I need to possess the compassionate nature of Jesus.
To feel each anxious care
To experience relief from every anxiety and worry.
To bear my every burden
To bear the weight of all my burdens and share in my sorrows.
And all my sorrow share

I need Thy Holy Spirit
Desire for the Holy Spirit to instruct and guide in understanding.
To teach me what I am
To reveal my true self and provide insights into the nature of Jesus.
To show me more of Jesus

And hope to see Thee soon
An expression of hope to be in the presence of Jesus soon.
Encircled with Thy glory
To be surrounded by the glory of Jesus and witness His exalted state.
And seated on Thy throne
