I HAVE ALL THAT I NEED
Author(s): Chris Mountain, Barry, Windy
Songbook: Best Friends
KeyWords: Thankfulness,

Intro:
I have all that, all that I need.
I have all that, all that I need.

Sometimes I'm sad 'cause I wish I had
Lots of things from the shopping mall.
But then I stop & think about the things that
Other people don't have at all.
Sometimes I've thought about what I've got,
And I've wanted to have much more.
But then I see many others need what
I haven't been thankful for.

Chorus 1
I saw a beggar on the street,
He said he had very little to eat.
It opened my eyes, & made me realize
That I have all that I need.

[I have all that I need, all that I need.]

I've got a friend with lots of money to spend,
And he buys a lot of fancy clothes.
He's got his very own portable telephone, & a CD stereo.
My Dad's best friend drives a Mercedes Benz,
But all we've got is a Ford.
It may be a little older, but it's got a good motor,
And besides, it's all we can afford.

Chorus 2
I saw a movie star on TV,
She said her life was full of misery.
It opened my eyes, & made me realize
That I have all that I need.

Repeat Intro

Well, I must confess that I'm really blessed.
I'll be thankful & not complain,
'Cause it's really true that there are others
Who haven't got it quite the same.
Some people can't talk or see or walk,
So I'm thankful for my health.
To be happy & whole in body & soul is the most
Important kind of wealth.

Chorus 3
I know a young boy in my town,
An accident prevents him from getting around.
It opened my eyes, & made me realize
That I have all that I need.

Chorus 4
I thank God, 'cause all He's given to me
Now seems like a lot, & more & more
I see He's opened my eyes & now I realize
That I have all that I need.

[I know, I know]

Chorus 5
Now I know if I had all that I'd like,
It wouldn't necessarily make things nice.
I've opened my eyes & now I realize
That I have all that I need.

[I have all that I need.] I have all that I need.
[I have all that I need.] I have all that I need.
