Everything We Need

 

     C      AM          F           C

A baby’s born I can hear her cry

      G         D           A        D

The mother pulls her to her side

       C             AM           F       C

She draws the babe close to her breast

Where she finds sweet sustenance

He’s sitting on his father’s lap

Will hold him tight all night long

Two teenage kids not far from home

G          D          A       D

Venture into the great unknown

        C                AM        F         C

They pledge their love one stormy night

They don’t look back it all feels right

             AM                       E                     A     

They are sure they’ve found everything they need

 

C               AM            F            C

Rings were given each said their part

      G               D              A         D

And big dreams filled their hopeful hearts

C                AM            F        C

Careers, two cars, some kids, a home

    G             D              A          D

If they could have them for their own

        AM                    E                     A

Then they would have everything they need

​

 

C          AM    F           C

One by one it came to pass

G       D       A         D

Luxuries fell in their lap

        C          AM               F          C

They weren’t content, they wanted more

And set their sights on distant shores

             AM                    E                     A

Thinking there they’d find everything they need

 

       C           AM       F          C

They traveled far and traveled wide

        G           D              A      D

And journeyed across the great divide

C          AM         F         C

Only to find their pot of gold

G                D              A          D

Was buried ‘neath their humble home

          AM                 E                        A

It was there they had everything they’d need

 

C                  AM         F              C

Years flashed by in the blink of an eye

         G            D            A             D

They learned to laugh and learned to cry

        C          AM       F               C

And letting go of the things they owned

        G             D     A           D

They found the King upon His throne

           AM            E                    A

And He said, I have everything you need

 

        C             AM          F            C

Their eyes grew dim then closed to rest

G             D        A                D

No strong hands, no mother’s breast

        C             AM       F              C

And when they opened they could see

      G         D   A     D

The far side of eternity

   AM                  E                     A

At last, they have everything they need
