Christ's Love Is All I Need

1 Tho' dark and dreary be life's way
And burdens hard to bear;
There's One whose love will never fail,
My heart shall ne'er despair.
My hope is staid in Him today
And He will safely lead;
To that sweet home beyond the sea,
Christ's love is all I need.

Chorus:
Christ's love is all I need, each day, (O His love precious love's all I need, need each day,)
I know I know Christ's precious love (Yes, I know, precious love is all,) is all I need
He'll lead me safely on life's way, (O He'll lead, yes, He'll lead safely on, on life's way,)
I know, I know Christ's precious love is all I need (O I know His love is all I need)

2 Tho' trials press on ev'ry side
And many snares there be;
I look in simple faith to Him,
Who calmed the stormy sea.
He is the Shepherd kind and true,
His sheep He'll ever feed;
This cheers me on and makes me strong,
Christ's love is all I need. [Chorus]

3 And when I hear the boatman's call,
Come cross the chilly tide;
I shall not fear to launch my bark,
For Christ is at my side.
He bore the sting of death for me,
Has met my ev'ry need;
And so I sing the sweet refrain,
Christ's love is all I need. [Chorus]
