At times life can be very hard. Sometimes the burdens seem almost too heavy to bear. You may feel like you are sinking and need someone to lift you up, but nobody does. Sometimes you can become so lonely and need help, but no one seems to understand or care. Friends seem to forget you and even you may not know what you need.
But there is One who cares, One who knows just what you need, often even better than you yourself know what you need. And He is there to supply your every need and throw His arms around you and whisper "You're not alone". He alone knows just what you need.
And that is the truth shared in this week's song choice. It appears that the song was written by Mosie Lister although some credit it to Elvis, probably because it was one of the songs that Elvis often sang and recorded.
But once again I couldn't find why this song was written. But it must have come from experiences where the Lord provided the deep needs of one of His children. He does that. It must be a testimony of this provision.
Indeed we need to know Jesus, the One who knows our needs. We first need Him for salvation, our most basic need. Throughout life we need His guidance and wisdom, We also need His comfort and hope when hard times come, and they do. We also need strength to avoid temptations that will destroy us and we need His help to live as we should. He's our shelter in the time of trouble. He's our rock and our deliverer. He's our strength, our God, and our King. What more could we want?
So if you are presently lonely and carrying a heavy burden, then cling to Him for He loves you and He cares. He knows your needs even better than you do. He will not fail you, even when your dearest friend on earth fails or forgets you. Yes He does know just what you need.
1. My Jesus knows when I am Lonely
He knows each pain, He sees each tear
He understands each lonely heartache
He understands because He cares
My Jesus knows just what I need
Oh yes! He knows just what I need
He satisfies and every need supplies
Yes, He knows just what I need
2. My Jesus knows when I am burdened
He knows how much my heart can bear
He lifts me up when I am sinking
And brings me joy beyond compare
My Jesus knows just what I need
Oh yes! He knows just what I need
He satisfies and every need supplies
Yes, He knows just what I need
3. When other friends seem to forget me
When skies are dark, when hope is gone
By faith I feel His arms around me
And hear Him say, "You're not alone"
My Jesus knows just what I need
Oh yes! He knows just what I need
He satisfies and every need supplies
Yes, He knows just what I need
He satisfies and every need supplies
Yes, He knows just what I need
Listen to it here. NEED
