Jesus Is All I Need

I Have All That I Need…

During my lifetime, I’ve had many
 different things.
But not really experience the joy
 I thought they’d bring!

I ‘d try to make it to church 
and sit in the pew…
But the God the preacher talked about... 
 I never knew!

Then one day…   Everything was all gone!
I thought to myself; “where did I go wrong?”

On the outside, others thought
 I was doing well.
I was empty inside...  They couldn’t even tell!

Jesus…  I heard that you love me 
and are concerned.
I want to give my life to you. 
 It’s my “turn!”’

Thank you my Lord for your love 
that you’ve supplied!
On that cross…  For me….  
You were crucified!

Thank you for giving peace 
and making me whole!
You’re all I’ll ever need and have 
restored my soul!
