All I Want Is You

A wonderful song I sing for special occasions:

Once I looked for pleasure here; just living for each day.
All I found were endings although I'd had my way.
Now I know what trouble means. I needed someone real.
All I want is You, Lord. All I want is You!

All I want is You, Lord. All I want is You!
No one else but you, Lord. All I want is You.

Through the years - the many years - that You were wanting me,
I was looking everywhere, but You I could not see.
With my heart I still know, and I know You're all I need.
All I want is You, Lord. All I want is You!

All I want is You, Lord. All I want is You!
No one else but you, Lord. All I want is You.
"This is the mark of a really admirable man: Steadfastness in the face of trouble." Ludwig van Beethoven
"It is a sad fate for a man to die too well known to everyone else and still unknown to himself." Francis Bacon
It is a mindless philosophy that assumes that one's private beliefs have nothing to do with public office. Does it make sense to entrust those who are immoral in private with the power to determine the nation's moral issues and, indeed, its destiny? .... The duplicitous soul of a leader can only make a nation more sophisticated in evil. ~ Ravi Zacharias
