Lyrics:

There comes a time, for every man
When he must, take a stance
And confess, to where he's been
And ask god, to forgive his sins
To forgive his sins

Whoa, whoa...

It's me
And I'm standing in the need
It's me lord
Standing in the need
Oh it's me, oh it's me
And I'm standing in the need
Standing in the need of forgiveness

I can hear my spirit mend, telling me to make a stand
Turn away, turn away from my evil ways
So god can bring me brighter days
Bring me brighter days

Whoa...

It's me lord
Standing in the need
Oh it's me lord yeah
Standing in the need
Oh it's me, it's me, wow wow
And I'm standing in the need
Standing in the need of forgiveness

You know the preacher,
The preacher told me I would burn in hell if I don't confess
(Told me I would burn in hell if I don't confess)
That's what he told me (confess)
That's what he told me
Ooh, my heart is open and my arms start...

Asking you to come inside, yeah

It's me (it's me), it's me (it's me)
And I'm standing (it's me), in the need (standing in the need)
Not my mother (it's me), not my father (it's me)
But it's me (it's me), hey lord (standing in the need)

Oowwoo (it's me), ooowwwooo (it's me)
And it's me (it's me), standing in the need (standing in the need)
I repent lord (it's me), for my sins (it's me)
Won't you please (it's me), take me in (standing in the need)

Lord (it's me), it's me (it's me),
I am standing (it's me), in the need (standing in the need)

Owowo (it's me), oowowowo (it's me)
Owowo lord (it's me), owowo lord (standing in the need)

I'm standing in the need
Standing in the need of forgiveness
