Several Things That Are The Same... That is All I Need


All I need is that book, but a book is not all I need

All I need is not an idea, but to others shall he be

All I need is not one, is three, but one body did he need

All I need is to be saved, but to save myself, I cannot

All I need is perfect love, but I am incapable of perfectly loving

All I need is to be perfect, but my sin makes sure I'm not

All I need is God alone, for alone I can do nothing

 

John 15:5b "apart from me you can do nothing."
