Living the Lyrics: “Lord I Need You” by Matt Maher

The song Lord I Need You by Matt Maher beautifully expresses that moment when we step back and realize we can’t do it alone anymore. We must rely on God.

It’s Easy to Forget That We’re Small

It’s so easy sometimes to forget how small we are; to get so wrapped up in our everyday lives and responsibilities. At times like these, we can forget to look up to God.  As the years go by, I’ve begun to realize that when I don’t allow God to play an active role in my life, things go wrong.

I’m confident that at some point in life you have become overwhelmed by whatever you were doing.  Whether it was work, school, or trying to fix a problem with friends or family, there were a lot of things that blinded you to God’s grace. During these times, all we have to do is look up. When we take a step back and remind ourselves of our need of a savior, Christ does amazing things.

Jesus Meets You in the Everyday

For many people, that moment of realization occurs at a Steubenville STL Mid-America (a.k.a “SteubySTL”) conference.  And while SteubySTL is an incredible place to encounter the person of Jesus, He desires to meet you in the everyday.  He is ready whenever you are; whenever you can step back and say “Lord, I need you. Every hour I need You, my one defense, my righteousness.  Oh God, how I need You.”

When temptation comes my way
And when I cannot stand I’ll fall on You
