Lyrics

(Verse 1)
Deep within my heart Lord
I long to see Your face
Be overwhelmed by glory
In heaven's full embrace

Your presence is all I need
To drive away the night
To fill my soul with peace
And lead me to the light

(Verse 2)
Lead me by still waters
Calm the raging tide
Jesus, You're my fortress
To You I run and hide

Your presence is all I need
To drive away the night
To fill my soul with peace
And lead me to the light

(Chorus)
Your presence is all I need
Your presence is all I need
Your presence is all I need
All that I need

(Verse 3)
When my heart is lonely
When the night is cold
You come to me in silence
And with Your love enfold

Your presence is all I need
To drive away the night
To fill my soul with peace
And lead me to the light

(Repeat Chorus)
Your presence is all I need
Your presence is all I need
Your presence is all I need
All that I need

(Bridge)
When You are walking beside me
I'm strong
When You are walking beside me
My heart is calm

(Repeat chorus)
Your presence is all I need
Your presence is all I need
Your presence is all I need
All that I need

MARIO CARUANA2012-11-09... God's presence is ALL we need.

God's presence in creation is the preliminary manifestation of God's providential love. All that exists proclaims God's infinite love and continuous care for his creation.

However, as human beings we tend to leave our selfish perceptions deviate our attention from this tangible manifestation of God's providential love. Unfortunately, sometimes or many times, we seek to satisfy our thirst for happiness by looking for earthly possessions such as wealth, power, fame, glory, reputation, etc.

We tend to forget that earthly possessions are finite in their nature and that our human spirit and hearts can only reach their fulfilment by accepting God's love and providential care in our daily lives.

It is solely God's presence in our lives that drives away the night of selfishness and unjust practices.

God is love and only those who accept his loving presence of providential care, can really live and bring peace and harmony in life.

May God bless you all.

milly roache2012-03-16Praise be to God, so beautiful and true "Jesus presences is all we need these days, to comfort us as he is our comforter..thank you brother for sharing your music with us..May God bless you abundantly!!
Mario Caruana2012-03-14A very good song that inspires our heart, strengthens our awareness of God's presence and fills our spirit with that joyful and peaceful feeling that certainly lifts our spirit towards God.

These are really the type of songs that we all need. Songs that proclaim God's presence and love towards us and all his creation. St. Therese used to say: 'For me ... God is enough', and I think that this is the message that is conveyed by this beutiful song. The presence of God in our life and daily deeds is definetely the key that opens our hearts to reach true happiness.
