Roger Berkeley plays 'Lord I Need You' (Matt Maher) at the inaugural Providence Records Showcase, 4 March 2017
"The highlight of my career to date is playing 'Lord I Need You' at the Every Time launch. Even better than seeing a room full of people singing 'Every Time' - a song I wrote when I was 17 - was the realisation that there was a bar in Dublin City where people were singing praises to God at the top of their voices. Christians being unashamedly Christian in the public square, with non-Christians looking on in awe and confusion from the bar, wondering what we had that they didn't.
Wiping a tear from my eye, I finished the song, knowing that God was doing something special through me. I needed no more persuasion that Providence Records had to happen. Four months later, on the same stage, Providence Records hosted its first showcase." - Roger Berkeley

Lyrics:
Lord I come, I confess
Bowing here, I find my rest
Without you I fall apart
You're the one that guides my heart
Lord I need you
Oh I need you
Every hour I need you
My one defence, my righteousness
Oh God, how I need you
*Instrumental*
When sin runs deep
Your grace is more
Where grace is found
Is where you are
And where you are
Lord, I am free
Holiness is Christ in me
Lord I need you
Oh I need you
Every hour I need you
My one defence, my righteousness
Oh God, how I need you
*Instrumental (10,000 Reasons - Matt Redman)*
Teach my song to rise to you
When temptation comes my way
When I cannot stand, I'll fall on you
Jesus, you're my hope and stay
When I cannot stand, I'll fall on you
Jesus, you're my hope and stay
Lord I need you
Oh I need you
Every hour I need you
My one defence, my righteousness
Oh God, how I need you
Lord I need you
Oh I need you
Every hour I need you
My one defence, my righteousness
Oh God, how I need you
Oh God, how I need you
