There's so much that steals my attention
That, at times, I stumble and fall
Like when I walk the streets of ambition
The traffic can drown out your call
I want to hear all that you have to say
And I don't want me to get in the way

Oh, I need a saviour
Oh, I need a friend to hold up my heart
When I don't have the strength to stand

As I search my heart's inclination
And I race down this dark boulevard
Have I passed the point of redemption
Have I gone just a little too far
Yeah, the arms of your mercy
Reach down from above
The voice of forgiveness
The eyes of pure love

Oh, I need a saviour
Oh, I need a friend to hold up my heart
When I don't have the strength to stand
Oh, I need a saviour
Here at the crossroads
And I see the signs
Oh, I'm waiting

Forgiveness and mercy
Oh, Jesus, you give it to me
You give it to me, yeah
Oh, I need a saviour
Oh, I need a friend
To hold up my heart
When I don't have the strength to stand

Oh, oh, I need a saviour
Oh, I need a friend
To hold up my heart
When I don't have the strength to stand

Oh, I need you, Jesus
Oh, I need you, Lord
