Christ Is All We Need

Christ Is All We Need!

Christ — The Father’s Gift


“For God so-loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever beleiveth in him should not perish, but 

have everlasting life.” 

(John 3:16)


Christ is the Father’s gift.


Christ is all we need.


Christ is the greatest gift—

for every need of the soul

and every ache of the heart.


We need a Defender to plead our case,

and He is our Advocate.


We need a Shepherd to guide our steps,

and He leads us beside still waters.


We need a Physician to heal our wounds,

and by His stripes we are made whole.


We need a Hiding Place,

a Secret Place where the soul may rest—

and in Him we meet with God.


We need a Friend to commune with us,

a Lover of our souls

who ministers grace in our weakness.


We need a Captain to lead us,

a Warrior to protect us,

a Governor to rule us,

and a King to reign over us in righteousness.


We need a Priest to minister for us,

a Prayer Warrior to intercede,

a Teacher to instruct our minds,

and a Prophet to proclaim God’s truth.


We need a Savior to save us,

a Comforter to hold us,

and a Guide to walk beside us.


We need a Light to brighten our steps,

a Star to lead us home,

and a Path on which to walk.


We need a Well that never runs dry,

Milk for our beginning,

Meat for our strength,

and Bread to nourish our souls.


We need a Sword to defend us,

a Shield to protect us,

and a Song to make our hearts rejoice.


We need Truth to believe,

Life to regenerate us,

and a Fire to burn within us.


We need a Promise to encourage us,

a Judge to acquit us,

a Righteousness to make us right with God,

and a Peace that fills our joy in the Lord.


Christ is the Father’s gift—

and in Him,

every need is met.
