It’s Jesus I Need, Jesus Indeed

It’s Jesus I Need, Jesus Indeed

This morning, I woke up singing a song that I hadn’t thought about in a while:

It is Jesus I need, it is Jesus indeed

Who will make my faith beautiful and bold;

And with Jesus in me I need no longer be

So afraid of what future days may hold.

My slightly off-key tones were drifting out of the bathroom window as I sung in the shower, much to the likely bemusement of my neighbours. To them, I offer my apologies!

I love this song because the lyrics are so true, especially in this season of my life. Sometimes, life can feel like a relentless slog—bringing challenges, uncertainties, and days where hope feels a little further away. But in the middle of it all, I know one thing for sure: it’s Jesus I need.

I was particularly struck by the chorus:

O Jesus, Jesus,

You are the One who can make my life complete.

O Jesus, my peace restore.

It’s Jesus I need, Jesus indeed,

Jesus in me, more and more.

That’s my prayer. May there be less of me and more of Jesus in my life.

I hold on to that truth. It is Jesus I need, it is Jesus indeed. With Him, I don’t need to fear what the future holds, because my faith can be beautiful and bold when rooted in His love.
