Since being home from Africa, I have found I cringe every time I hear the words "I need" come from out of my mouth - as I've come to the realization that I don't need nearly as much as I thought I did. Those two words have made me really reconsider what I do need in my life. So, I wrote a song for Jesus. The only one I need.

all I need please come gather me you're all I need

when everything's fading and this whole world's a dream you carry me home and you're all that I need

your hands held the stars that covered your sky now your hands bear scars and I'm the reason why

all I need please come gather me you're all I need

you say, "daughter, I love you" I say, "Father, I love you, too" you hold me tonight and I cannot live without you

thoughts run around aimlessly in my head I can't contemplate the love in which that you bled for me

you bled love for me

all I need please come gather me you're all I need

all I need, I need, I need

I need you with all that I am you're the air that I breathe and without you I'd rather be dead

I need you like morning needs light like mourning needs joy and praise and delight I feel you now and I know that I will be alright

all I need please come gather me you're all I need

all I need please dear Jesus, come gather me all I need

forever.
