Lyrics
"All I Want"

Rofex Pub BMI / Wrinkled Suit ASCAP
The strength of my own arm couldn't carry me for long
It only made me weary and weak
Every idol failed me, and the praises of men
Were only ankle deep
Yeshua, You are all I want
You're all I need and I will always seek your face
Yeshua, You are all I want
You're all I need and I will always seek your grace
The glory of this earth is fading like a candle
Because you're the only real source of light
Foolish self-ambition and the weight of pride and sin
They were never worth the price
'Cause in the depth of my despair you did not leave me there
And in the darkness of my mind you have shed a light
And in the hardness of my heart I put a spear into your side
To punish me you gave your life
The treasures of this world some day are gonna burn
And the wisdom of this age will come to naught
None of it can compare to your majesty and glory
So why would I waste my time?
