about
All I Need was written after Niya had watched an episode of MTV Cribs. The featured artist had a beautiful home, several cars, and many "friends" that came to be a part of the show. While Niya watched the show, she noticed that there was no peace or rest in the eyes, heart or spirit of this extremely well-known rapper and the Lord began to speak to Niya by giving her the lyrics of All I Need. It is very possible to fill your life with "things" and feel as empty as when you first started...WE NEED JESUS FOLKS! There is a void in mankind that only the acceptance of Jesus Christ can fill...so in ALL your getting, get the understanding that life isn't life without Jesus!
lyrics
Lyrics:
I need that something in my life
I have cars, fame, houses, rings and money;
Not to mention money now.
Everywhere I go people know who I am, how I roll.
So why do I feel so alone?
I thought that if I had things my life would be complete.
I have everything I want and need.
But at end of the day, everything turns to gray.
And I notice something else is missing.
I need that something in my life
All the money in the world cannot buy.
I need that peace, joy, everlasting love;
Need the One sent from above.
I need the Man who died for me.
Need the Man who hung on Calvary's tree.
Need the One who rose again
Rose to free the world from sin.
Only One I need is Jesus, Jesus.
I brought some friends around me,
So I wouldn't be lonely.
I was filled with the love that they showed me.
But when my friends went away I had nothing to say.
There I was left so afraid.
In this world where people need me,
They don't care how they treat me.
They use to get what they want.
When I'm left out in the open,
They said fame was my token.
But I need so much more.
I need that something in my life
All the money in the world cannot buy.
I need that peace, joy, everlasting love;
Need the One sent from above.
I need the Man who died for me.
Need the Man who hung on Calvary's tree.
Need the One who rose again
Rose to free the world from sin.
Only One I need is Jesus, Jesus.
So when the music stops,
And the curtains drop,
And all the drama starts to cease,
I'm content in knowing that in Jesus
I have found true peace.
So I praise His name eternally.
Cause I know in Him I am set free.
If He took it all away, I would be okay.
I need that something in my life
All the money in the world cannot buy.
I need that peace, joy, everlasting love;
Need the One sent from above.
I need the Man who died for me.
Need the Man who hung on Calvary's tree.
Need the One who rose again
Rose to free the world from sin.
Only One I need is Jesus, Jesus.
