Lyrics:
When the day is done
And there’s no one else around
While I’m lying here in bed
You’re in my heart, You’re in my head
You’re all I need, You’re all I need
There are a million voices
Calling out my name
But You’re the One I want to hear
So make the others disappear
You’re all I need, You’re all I need
You are all I need when I’m surrounded
You are all I need if I’m by myself
You fill me when I’m empty
There is nothing else
You’re all I need
When the morning comes
And Your mercy is renewed
There’s a fire in my bones
I’m not afraid to go alone
You’re all I need, You’re all I need
The sun on my face
I hear You whisper loud
You’re still the God that opens seas
Every flower, even me
You’re all I need, You’re all I need
I’m drawn to everything that You do
Nothing compares with You

Behind the Song:
'It’s one of the simplest things I’ve ever written, but it is such a powerful claim to make: “You are all I need when I’m surrounded/ You are all I need if I’m by myself.” Who would have ever thought that you could experience so much joy when you forget about every other “pressing” matter and cling to Jesus? Every morning I wake up to the promise that everything is fresh and new… that his mercy is ready to pour over me once again. There are so many other things that are vying for my attention, but when I quiet myself and hush all of the voices that are shouting out my name just so I can hear his gentle voice, I hear him say, “I’m with you.”' - Bethany Dillon
