Lyrics

Needed Time

Now is the needed time
Now is the needed time
Now is the needed time
Now is the needed time
Oh, the needed time
Now is the needed time

I'm down on my bended kneels
On my bended kneels
I'm praying, won't you come by here?
I'm down on my bended kneels
Well, on my kneels
Praying, won't you come by here?

Sing it, right now is the needed time
Oh, is the needed time
Needed time
Now is the needed time
Right now is the needed time

Even if you don't stay long
Jesus, if you don't stay long
I'm praying, come by here
Jesus if you don't stay long
Oh, if you stay long
Praying, won't you come by here?

Now is the needed time
Is the needed time
Now is the needed time
Right now is the needed time
Is the needed time
Now is the needed time
