This song started out a few months back with me sitting at the piano and coming up with a chord progression and melody. I was thinking ‘this is pretty simple and strong’ but I couldn’t come up with any ideas for lyrics, so I felt inspired to do a quick recording of it, singing ‘la la la’ for the melody and send it up to Andy Park to see if he could do something with it. A couple of weeks later he sent me the song which he completed with lyrics to it.

Andy recorded the song on his last album and asked me to play piano.

With empty hands and aching heart
Lord I come to rest at Your feet
On my darkest days
In my deepest pain
I know Your grace is here for me

Though I’m weary from the journey
In surrender I find peace
Though I walk this path in weakness
Lord Your grace is sufficient for me

Take these hands take my heart
Lord I choose Your will for me
And if I share in Your suffering
Let Your power rest on me

You are all I need all I need
Lord, You’re all I need
You are all I need all I need
Lord Your love is enough for me
