Bryan Duncan's United We Stand

We All Need (from Anonymous Confessions...)

Written by Bryan Duncan and Chuck Barth

From a cardboard hovel on a darkened street
To the well-lit windows of a penthouse suite
All are desperate souls with a human fate
We protect ourselves within the walls we make
And I stand in a corner now in my house of rest
And I bow my head and I beat my breast
And say, God, please forgive me for this sinner's heart
Though You show me Your mercy
It's the same old story keeping us apart
(chorus)
We all feel lost sometimes
And we all feel hurt inside
And we all cry
And we all need
The redeeming love of Jesus
I was raised on the lessons and the victory speech
And I fought for the standards that I could not reach
And I hold my tongue when the pain is great
And I cover my tears as we celebrate
While a private war rages with the fear and the doubt
As I try to run faster to find a way out
I'm convinced if I stumble they'll just cast me aside
Or mock at my weakness and shatter my pride
'Cause I've watched as we've stoned the more hesitant soul
So we all must remember
It's still God's grace we all need to know
(chorus)
We all feel lost sometimes
And we all feel hurt inside
And we all cry
And we all need
The redeeming love of Jesus
