You Are All I Have

In the quiet of the morning, before the day begins, Before the world's loud chorus,with all its noise and sins, I reach into the silence,a soul both frail and scarred, And find my one sure anchor:You are all I have, Lord.

"My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever." —Psalm 73:26

When pathways fade to shadow and fear begins to grow, When friends are not beside me and I have nowhere to go, You are the lamp that guides me,a fire in the dark. You are all I have—my compass and my mark.

"Your word is a lamp for my feet, a light on my path." —Psalm 119:105

The treasures of this world, they rust and fade away, The praises of the crowd are fickle for a day. But Your promise is a kingdom that time cannot erode. You are all I have—my greatest treasure owed.

"Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth... but store up for yourselves treasures in heaven." —Matthew 6:19-20

So let the storms may gather, let every prop give way, This single truth will hold me through night and through the day. My shelter and my fortress,my beginning and my end, You are all I have,my Savior and my Friend.

"The Lord is my rock, my fortress and my deliverer; my God is my rock, in whom I take refuge." —Psalm 18:2

Amen.
