No Need

As a needy people in a barren land

We can look to our own desires

Or to God's providing hand

He provides for our needs abundant and free

As in heaven so on earth it shall be

I will lay down my armor- I will lay down my sword

I will put away the things of earth

And put on the clothes of the Lord

He will dry all the tears for all the treasure and all time

Will be my inheritance

With Him it will be mine

I will drop all the pretense

destroy all my masks

When everythiong of earth is gone

There'll be nothing left to ask

There'll be no need, no need

At the feet of Jesus there is no need

I will be complete,

My purpose pure, my work so sweet!

I wiill be an heir with Him to everything!

For every dream will be reality-

no need of dreaming of what will be

But wonder of wonders- he shows us how

This can be true in the here and now

Before the one who meets every need

From want and longing except for Him to be freed

For whom He sets free shall be free indeed

At the throne of Jesus there will be no need

At the feet of Jesus there is no need!
