When All I Needed

Folder: 
Spiritual

Trying to quench my thirst with

Arid fountains of pleasures

   When all I needed was

   Your overflowing mercy



Trying to satisfy my hunger with

Empty tables of possessions

   When all I needed was

   Your all-consuming grace



Trying to find my way in

Dark tunnels of iniquity

   When all I needed was

   Your guiding light



Trying to find my comfort

In the arms of a stranger

   When all I needed was

   Your unconditional love



Trying to find a fulfilling purpose

In my mundane mediocrity

   When all I needed was

   Your exceptional power



Trying to survive in my sufficiency

To hide all that I was lacking

   When all I needed was

   Your abundant compassion



Trying to use my earthly wealth

To make up for my limited knowledge

   When all I needed was

   Your unlimited blessings



Trying to find all the answers

To life's most challenging questions

   When all I needed was

   Your infinite wisdom



Trying to find my own entrance

Through the narrow passage to heaven

   When all I needed was

   Your eternal promise
