I Only Need You, Lord...

I only need You, Lord,

    when I rise up and when I sit down; when I go out and when I come in;
when I am quiet and when I am active;
when I am alone and when I am with others;
when I am healthy and when I am ill;
when I am up and when I am down;
when I am on the go and when I need to wait…

I only need You, Lord,
when my lungs need to breathe;
when my blood needs to flow;
when my body needs to move;
when my muscles need to work;
when my mind needs to think;
when heart needs to love…

I only need You, Lord,
for as long as birds need flight;
for as long as whales need the sea;
for as long as clouds need moisture;
for as long as wildflowers need raindrops;
for as long as sunflowers need the summer sun…

I only need You, Lord,
for this present moment;
for the moment when You take me home;
for all the moments in-between;
and for all the moments ever after.

My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness.

2 Corinthians 12:9 NKJV
