Lyrics:
Based on Luke 18:9–14
VERSE 1
I don’t wanna be like a Pharisee
Saying “Look at all the good I’ve done!”
God, You see within and You know all my sin
Lord, I need Your mercy
CHORUS
Everybody needs You
Everybody needs Jesus
Everybody needs You
And I need You too
VERSE 2
Even though I’m small, I am growing tall
Yet there’s one thing I will not outgrow
People of every age still call on You to save
We all need Your mercy
BRIDGE
Lord, You are strong when I am weak
There’s no other Savior that I need
You paid my debt, You conquered death
Help me to believe
