Jesus Gives All I Need

Jesus Gives All I Need!

 I’ve had and given away
 a lot of things.
But didn’t know what 
 the next day brings!

I ‘d go to church 
and “do my best.”
Hoping the preacher would
 “take care of the rest.”

One day, everything
 was gone!
I thought to myself; 
“where did I go wrong?”

On the outside, others thought
 I was doing fine.
I was empty inside...  
They couldn’t read my mind!

Jesus, I heard that you love me 
and are concerned.
Trusting you is what 
I’ve learned!

Thank you Jesus,
 for the needs you supplied!
My life with you,
is satisfied!

Thank you for giving peace 
and making me whole!
You’re all I need and  
renewed my soul!
