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.
