I have what I need
I have what I need
by Joel Howard
a love story
I have what I need
I need not for I have
I have what I need
I want for not for I have
I have what I need
I need not for I am
In love with the One
Who makes everything right
The story of my life
The story of all lives
Is the race to stay home
The race to arrive
The devil of my life
The enemy of all lives
Seeks to steal and destroy
And it begins here inside
I never had a content moment
I never had a content moment
I never had a content moment
While opening my eyes
I never had a dull moment
I never had a dull moment
I never had a dull moment
While closing my eyes
Silence is my best
Most honored friend
Remembering, the gift
I treasure over all of them
For quietness brings me inside my heart
And causes me space to remember each part
Of a life lived with Jesus who canceled my sin
Of a life filled with lessons
Of a life filled with Him
Contentment comes not in the going outside
Contentment rests not in the seeking and trying
Adventure ensues only after you
Spend time at home and find out "you"
Spend time at home and find out "you"
Tic tock goes the clock
Measures our resting
Tic tock goes the clock
As we count our blessings
This is not wasted space
This is not trite
Knowing our past
Makes our future aright
Knowing our place
In the arms of Delight
For we all long to retire
We all long to sit long
To think all the things we wanted
While busy is behind
We all have our rocker
One three five decades long
"One day we will get there"
"One day" is our song
But here is the secret
I tell us all now
That rocker lives
Inside of us all
Find out a way to get all dreams today
Find out just how you can get it today
Facade is the thought
A mist is the plan
A laugh is the dream
That we'll get in our hands
The rest we all dream of
Without having it now!
The rest is here with us
So come to Him now!
The rest is here knocking
The rest is His Love
