I just want a place to rest Look out on a day's sunset Someone there to share it with A hand to hold when this world turns
Lord I want so many things What I need has never changed No matter what I chase and crave I need you more I need you more
I just want to live in peace Pass without an enemy With a smile laid on my face Without a cause to bend my brow
Lord I want so many things What I need has never changed All this wanting only makes Me need you more I need you more
I just want to cling to grace That has filled my empty place And my heart with gratitude For so much more than I deserve
Lord I want so many things What I need has never changed Teach my wayward heart each day No matter what I chase or crave That all this wanting only makes Me need you more I need you more
Story Behind The Song: Playing at colleges and universities I meet a lot of single people - people who believe they are in great need. They tell me they need a major, a degree, a spouse, a job and money. They're just like me but a lot more honest. I've realized over time though that my "needs" are often left unmet or, once met they are replaced by new ones, to cultivate dependence upon God. In the end, after chasing want after want I end up, time after time, realizing what it is I was made to crave. (Psalm 73:25)
