All I Need
we didn’t have a picket fence
of white in our front yard
and lived from check to check most times
when times were pretty hard
we scraped and borrowed monies from
our families on both sides
and felt such an embarrassment
while swallowing our pride
through all the years this lesson called
self-sacrifice reveals
that only love that’s pure enough
survives the cards life deals
but if your love’s foundation’s built
on God’s forgiving Grace
your family withstands any storm
or difficulties faced
in Lord we trust to carry us
when we are lost and weak
we learned from past experience
in God we have to seek
so looking back upon our life
we saw that we were blessed
we always had the love that bonds
and strived to meet His tests
His love and yours is all i need
all earthly things mean naught
for where my treasure thus resides
be where my heart is sought
