I think that is the title to the song. Some of the lyrics in the chorus are
he knows how to keep me humble and how to make me pray

in the song
when i thought i needed sunshine
God sent a rain

EXACTLY WHAT I NEED

WHEN I THOUGHT I NEEDED SUNSHINE, THE LORD SENT A RAIN.
WHEN I THOUGHT I NEEDED HEALING, I HAD MY SHARE OF PAIN.
I'VE BEEN LOOKING FOR A MOUNTAIN TOP, BUT A VALLEY IS ALL I SEE
BUT JESUS ALWAYS SEEMS TO KNOW EXACTLY WHAT I NEED.

(chorus)
HE KNOWS EXACTLY WHAT I NEED, OH TO WALK THE NARROW WAY.
JESUS KNOWS HOW TO KEEP ME HUMBLE, YES HE DOES,
AND HOW TO MAKE ME PRAY.
WELL HE KNOWS WHEN THE CLOUDS COVER THE SKY,
WHEN I'M WALKIN' IN A VALLEY LOW.
I'LL BE ON MY KNEES CALLING ON HIM,
THERE'S NO OTHER PLACE TO GO.

WHEN I THOUGHT I NEEDED FRIENDSHIP, I HAD TO STAND ALONE.
WHEN I THOUGHT THAT I WAS DOING RIGHT,
THE LORD SAID I WAS WRONG.
WHEN I THOUGHT I NEEDED A BLESSING,
THE GOOD LORD SENT A TRIAL.
AND NOW I KNOW JUST WHAT IT MEANS TO SUFFER FOR A WHILE.

The Rambos sang it on their 1970 album, The Real Thing

I'm not positive but I think Dottie wrote it.
