Verse 1

There was a blind man on the road side, and he heard a commotion yeah
It was Jesus passing by with a crowd and it stirred his emotions
He'd been displaced his whole life, should he even try
Ohhhhh

Don't bother Jesus (they say you have nothing)
You have nothing to offer (stay in your place)
Right then he knew(he had to choose)
He had nothing to lose

So he cried Jesus(Jesus), I need you, (yeah ah) please don't pass me by
He cried out Jesus, I'm not ashamed(to tell you) I need you in my life
(I need you in my life yeah)

Verse 2

I'm not much different from that man, and this is the honest truth
Could this sinful one, with this messed up life, could I ever serve you
(Oh oh oh oh)people and things clutter my mind, should I even try
Ohhhhhh

Don't bother Jesus (they say you have nothing)
You have nothing to offer (stay in your place)
I must admit (when I think about it all)
I need you in my life

So I cry Jesus(Jesus), I need you
Please don't pass me by
I'm crying out Jesus, I'm not ashamed to tell you I need you in my life

Bridge

As the deer (as the deer panted)
Thirsty for the water yeah(thirsty for the water)
My soul desires and longs to be(to be with you)

Jesus, I need you, please don't pass me by
I don't mean to waste your time but I can't listen to the crowd,
Situations in my life telling me to keep it down
But I need you

I know I'm broken, but you can heal me, Jesus, Jesus I'm calling you
(I might not be worth much)might not be worth much, but I'm still willing
Jesus, Jesus, I'm calling you
... Till fade
