Water's Not Enough

"I need Jesus in my life"

Lyrics

Water's not enough
Water's not enough
Water's not enough to clean my hands
That I may ascend the hill

My Savior on the cross
My Savior on the cross
My Savior on the cross - He died for me
That I may ascend the hill

I need Jesus in my life
I need Jesus in my life
I need Jesus in my life to free my soul
That I may ascend the hill

I know I've got to have a pure heart
To be shaped as clay, not blown as dust
Well, My Redeemer's alive and giving me a new start
Every time I look to Him with trust

Chords and stuff

I wrote this on an acoustic guitar in C but that turned out to be too low once I went full voice. Thus I have both a chord chart and a lead sheet in G.

Structurally, this is kind of a strange song as there's no real chorus. I think of it as three short verses that are always sung together and a bridge.
