The Lord Is Not in Need

A hymn on the self-sufficiency of God from the series of hymns titled “The Lord Is“

Lyrics

The Lord is not in need of man, for He is self-sufficient;
Within the Godhead, Three in One, He finds complete contentment.
He does not need to ask
For help in any task;
He owns what He has made
And has no debt to pay.
To Him belongs all glory.

The Lord has met our ev'ry need through His own strength abundant
By sending Christ in poverty to die a humble servant;
What should have been our loss
He bore upon the cross,
And rising from the grave
Revealed His pow'r to save
That we might know His fullness.

The Lord will be my constant help in ev'ry situation;
He will supply my ev'ry need in peace or tribulation.
In weakness I will see
God's grace abundantly;
A servant I will be
Through Christ who strengthens me.
The Lord is all-sufficient.
