A Prayer for Wednesday

I Need Thee Every Hour

1. I need Thee every hour, most gracious Lord;

No tender voice like Thine can peace afford.

I need Thee every hour, stay Thou nearby;

Temptations lose their power when Thou art nigh.

Chorus: I need Thee, O I need Thee;

O I need Thee every hour;

I need you Lord, O bless me now,

My Savior, I come to Thee.

2. I need Thee every hour, in joy or pain;

Come quickly and abide, or life is vain

I need Thee every hour, teach me Thy will;

And Thy rich promises in me fulfill
I need Thee every hour, teach me Thy will;
And Thy rich promises in me fulfill

C.S. Lewis on the Death of Christ

“The central Christian belief is that Christ’s death has somehow put us right with God and given us a fresh start. “ C.S. Lewis

Lewis goes on to explain that different theories of understanding the death of Christ aren't necessary to grasp the gospel or rather to have the truth of the gospel grasp us...depending on your theological perspective. It is enough to know that the death of Christ has put us to rights with God, exactly how that happens is better left up to God.
