We Need Each Other

I think I caught a glimpse of
Life without friends
Bitter, empty, hollow, dark and lonely
We never meant to hurt each other
So Can’t we trust again
And take it as a chance
To keep on growing

I don’t know why it doesn’t come easy
But I know that we could be happy
If we’d only learn to love

Oh oh we need each other
So what’s the fighting for
Oh oh we need each other
Please don’t close the door
Oh oh we need each other
Through all the highs and lows
Oh oh we need each other
‘Coz no one’s meant to live alone

Life revolves around the need
Of having someone
Causing every complicated feeling
Oh and I don’t want to loose you
And there is nothing wrong with
Telling me what you need
To keep our love strong

It’s just a part of being a family
Taking the good with the bad and the ugly
If we could only learn to love

Oh oh we need each other
So what’s the fighting for
Oh oh we need each other
Please don’t close the door
Oh oh we need each other
Through all the highs and lows
Oh oh we need each other
‘Coz I don’t want to be alone

Oh Oh we need each other
Fathers and Mothers
Oh oh we need each other
All your sisters and brothers
Oh oh we need each other
We need friends and lovers
Oh Oh we need each other

Well I need you
You need me
‘Coz that’s the way
It’s meant to be
I need you
We need each other
i don’t want to be alone

Well I need you
You need me
‘Coz that’s the way
It’s meant to be
I need you
We need each other
i don’t want to be alone

Genesis 2:18 says "The LORD God said, 'It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper suitable for him.'" this song hits straight from God's word. We aren't meant to be solitary creatures, we were built to commune with the Father and to have community with one another. Christian fellowhship is critical to our walk with God and our lives in the long run.

Just wanted to say a quick word on this idea about accountability. Get it. Get what? accountability. for those of you kinda unsure about what i mean let me just break it down for you using a personal example, for lack of another one. When i sin, and am convincted; when i promise God to read my bible 4 days a week, and don't do it; when i set a goal to attend church every week, and decide better of it; that's where accountability comes in. We need someone in our life to audibliy tell keep us in check and challenge us to succeed. We as humans are competitive in nature, so when we are challenged to reach a goal, we are more likely to step up to the task at hand. And we don't like to disappoint, so get somebody to impress. but you know i dont mean it like that. Get your best friend and ask eachother daily how you are doing in your walk with God, challenge eachother to step up. because if you don't have that accountability in your life, you will absolutely NOT, make it on your own. first off, cuz we need Jesus, secondly, because we are incapable of following him solo, we aren't strong enough.

just a word
