Lyrics

It was what I really needed to be happy every day
I'd impress all of my neighbors - that was what I heard them say
I could join the rich and the famous everyone would look to me
I'd have all of this world's pleasures and be all that I could be


I don't need a lot of riches or a title to my name
It won't matter if I stand alone and each day is just the same
All I need is Your direction in what I should say and do
I don't need this world's approval - O Lord all I need is You


Was it really just a moment when my heart was grieved within
Or an undisguised temptation to be drawn by this world's sin
What appeared to be exciting and a sight for weary eyes
Was a temporal diversion - a distraction from the prize


All You promised was Your presence to be with me every day
You said You would go before me and Your word would light my way
Every need You have provided and Your words have proven true
I'm convinced of this one fact O Lord - what I really need is You
