1 You need the cross of Jesus,
On it your peace was made;
For by His stripes He heals you,
On Him your sins was laid.

Chorus:
O how you need Him,
O how you need Him,
Need Him each day,
All of the way,
O how you need Jesus.

2 You need the name of Jesus,
No other name is giv’n;
Thro’ Him is sweet forgiveness
He is the way to heav’n. [Chorus]

3 You need the love of Jesus,
Shed in your heart each day;
‘Tis the constraining power
Keeping you on your way. [Chorus]

4 You need the pow’r of Jesus,
The will of God to do;
To help you tell to others
What He has done for you. [Chorus]
