The One You Need
If you are looking for love
And you are looking for worth
And you are feeling much alone
If you’ve been open
And you’ve broken
Now, you are needing bone of your bone
He is standing right here
And He’s waiting on you
Won’t you open up your heart
He is knocking your door
And He’s saying to you
Come on and let me in
My name is Jesus
I’m the One you need
My name is Jesus
In me, you can believe
How I love you
My plans for you are true
My name is Jesus
Just you trust in me
My name is Jesus
I’m the One you need
So, you are looking for might
And always ready for a fight
To show you’ll make it on your own
Yes, you have riches
For all your wishes
But you’re spending life on your own
He is standing right here
And He’s waiting on you
Won’t you open up your heart
He is knocking your door
And He’s saying to you
Come on and let me in
(Say my name) My name is Jesus
I’m the One you need
(Say my name) My name is Jesus
In me, you can believe
How I love you
My plans for you are true
(Say my name) My name is Jesus
Just you trust in me
(Say my name) My name is Jesus
I’m the One you need
Call on me, I’ll be there
Say name my name, I am near
Call on me, I’ll be there
Say name my name, I am near
(In the midnight hour) Call on me
(I’ll be there) I’ll be there
(When you walk through the water) Say name my name
