About This Song
All I Need Is You was born out of a lifetime of climbing. Years spent climbing the corporate ranks and building business ventures led to a strange discovery: the more you know, the more you realise how little you know. Every rung up the ladder made the world bigger and the climber smaller, until there was only one honest place left to stand — small before the Father. That is where this song lives. It is not a beginner's prayer; it is a summit prayer. When the titles, the ventures and the knowledge have all had their say, one sentence remains, repeated until it is true: All I need is You. Jesus, only You.
Devotional
"Whom have I in heaven but you? And earth has nothing I desire besides you. My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever" (Psalm 73:25–26).
Asaph wrote that after nearly losing his faith envying people who seemed to have everything. His way back was not getting more — it was wanting less, until only One desire was left.
That is what this song does. It takes the noise and the fear and trades them for a single line: All I need is You. Repetition is not emptiness here; it is how a distracted heart learns to focus. Say something to God often enough and honestly enough, and it stops being a lyric and starts being true of you.
Reflect: Finish this sentence honestly: "If I only had Jesus and ______, I'd be content." Whatever fills that blank, bring it into the song — and let the blank get smaller each time you sing it.
