O Lord Are You in Need? Lyrics

When he calls on me tonight
Will I rise and have to greet him
O Lord are you in need?
He'll ask of me to think
Of some grounds on which to meet him
O Lord are you in need?
The porch across the street
Is cold and dark and empty
O Lord are you in need?
The window to the left
Holds warmth and light to tempt me
O Lord are you in need?
Can one that I admire
Ask kneeling for my kindness
O Lord are you in need?
This seamlessness I granted,
Was that due to my blindness
O Lord are you in need?

Your face seems hardly that
Which I've pined for in the mirror
O Lord are you in need?
Nor the visage I held up
To support me in life's furor
O Lord can you be in need?

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
