All I Need

Soaking in the lyrics of this song by J.J. Heller this morning. Making copies in the church office and reveling in the great mercy of my Savior.

I don't need a thing
My good shepherd brings me all
You are all I need
You let me catch my breath
Even in the valley of death
You are all I need

All I need to be complete is your love
Your blood that covers me

You lift up my head
You provide the wine and bread
You are all I need
There's no need to fear
Even with my enemies here
You are all I need

Goodness and mercy are following me
You are all that I need
You make a home for me
With pastures of green as far as I see
You are all I need

So, if this is truth, that means: I don't need comfort. I don't need beauty. I don't need to know the language or understand the rules of the culture. I don't need to be more creative or more independent. I don't need relational security or to know my purpose. I need Christ.

Fighting hard to rest in the sufficiency of Christ.
