All I Need

I found myself one day

In a coversation with God

We talked about small things

Like sports, style, health, and the weather

He asked about my friends

And what kind of things we'd been doing

And then he asked about my life

And what kinds of seeds I was sewing

And I confessed I wasn't sure

And he said "Maybe you should be sure"

Chorus

"But all I really want from you

Is a warm embrace

A moment or two

Set aside to spend some time together

Think of me as though I'm always with you

In that place

My child

All I need is your love"

He said

"Son I'm very proud of you

You've done most of what I've asked you to"

And I fell to my knees

And said

"Daddy listen to me please

I don't deserve it

I'm vain and unworthy

I lie and I cheat

And I tend to be proud

I'm bitter and corrupt

And at times I doubt

That you're even there

At times

I doubt you're even there

And all I want to see

Is your face

Just for a moment

To let me know one day we'll be together

You know how hard it can be

Living down here in this place

All I need is your love

All I need is your love"

And then he kissed me on the cheek

And he, he gave my hand a squeeze and said

"Forget about the lies

Forget about the cheating

Forget about unworthy

Forget about deserving

Forget about corrupt

Forget about the pride and the doubt

I knew that it would happen

And I forgive it all the same

I know that you aren't perfect

But you're still my child

Yes you're still my child

Chorus

My child

All I need is your love

My child

All I need is your love
