All I need


You're the air I breath
My water of life
My strength to keep walking
You're the reason I live
My bread of life
You are all I need

There are many places to search for meaning in our life
There are many ways to try to satisfy our longings
But they all lead down a road of desperation
They won't take us where we want

After many years of searching, I found my answer
I tried to do it in my own strength to keep goin' on my way
But then when I could no more I found your
Love and embrace taking me home

Why can't we let go
When it's not much that you're asking
Why do we hold back
When it's so much that you're giving

And it's the moment we let go
When we surrender it all
Then the ray of light breaks into our heart
And a river of joy is flooding our life

What is love?

They say love is a game
Love is a battlefield
The rules are what you define
They say it is physical
About what makes you feel good
They say you can just takes it
Say you can just make it

But my heart tells me there's something wrong
The word love has been abused
Forgotten the definition
And lost is its meaning

Is love about the pink cloud
Butterflies and funny feelings
The idyll we get presented
Is it about attraction
Being together feeling nice
They say it's all there is
Say it's all we're wanting

What is love and how do I define it?
What is love and where do I find it?
Is it more than just a big word?
What is love and how do I know?

Or is it about being with someone and feeling whole?
Or is it about the tormenting pain when you leave?
Is it about you or rather caring for the others best?

Way of life

I find myself walking on my way
A freezing wind blowing in my face
When I stumble and fall, lying on the ground
I turn my head wondering where all the others are
I realize that I was fighting all alone
With no one there supporting me

And I am lying there shivering with cold
Exhausted by my desperation
I start to cry, I start to scream
Is there anybody helping me?

My precious child, I’m here for you
I love you and I will never leave you
When you are left outside alone
I call for you, to come into my arms
I want to comfort you
Refill your heart with strength
Trust in me and I will be your guide

I find myself getting on my feet
The freezing wind still blowing in my face
I stumble and nearly fall
Trying to keep myself upright
I turn my head wondering where all the others are
I realize I’m not alone any more
Cause God is there supporting me

And as I’m standing here shivering with cold
Exhausted by my desperation
I feel some strength growing inside of me
Cause there’s someone helping me

Life’s not getting easy
And hard times don’t just leave
But he can guide you with his light
And will be walking by your side
To guide you safe until the end
