168. I NEED THEE EVERY HOUR

1. I need Thee ev’ry hour;

Most gracious Lord;

No tender voice like Thine

Can peace afford.

Chorus:

I need Thee, oh, I need Thee,

Ev’ry hour I need Thee;

Oh bless me now, my Saviour;

I come to Thee!

2. I need Thee every hour;

Stay Thou near by;

Temptations lose their power

When Thou art nigh.

3. I need Thee every hour;

In joy or pain;

Come quickly and abide,

Or life is vain.

4. I need Thee every hour;

Teach me Thy will;

And Thy rich promises

In me fulfil.

5. I need Thee every hour;

Most Holy One;

Oh, make me Thine indeed,

Thou blessed Son!

GOSPEL REALM: STEPS TO SALVATION
1. Admit that you are a sinner. "For all [humans] have sinned, and comes short of the glory of God....[and] the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord" (Romans 3:23)
2. Repent now. "Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out ...[for] if we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness " (Acts 3:19, 1 John 1:9)
3. Believe that God loves you and Jesus died for you. "God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet Sinners, Christ died for us" (Romans 5:8)
4. Invite Jesus into your life through prayer of faith. Jesus says, "Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me" (Revelation 3:20)
