I wonder what You think of me
When I put Your name in spotlights
And run into the dark night all alone?
I live like I'm changing with the seasons
When You give me every reason to stay by Your side
But still I hide

It's no secret
I know everybody knows
I need You
I need You
It's no secret
That I'm afraid to be alone
I need You
I need You now

I gotta get this off my chest
I've been drowning in the ocean
Pledging my devotion to the one I left
For something in between
My hands and the unseen
You've been here every day
I ran away

Every single second
Every minute that goes by
I need you

Behind the Song:
“This is a simple song that touches on our most basic need of Jesus. We are simply saying that we have tried to play both sides of the fence and handle our own lives, and it always becomes evident that we can’t do it alone. It is no secret to anyone that we need God in our lives every single second of the day.” - Joshua Pearson (Nevertheless)
