Verse 1

I come to You
Because all that I have to do
Is calling me to come away
To hear You speak
I come and sit here at Your feet
I choose to do the better thing

Chorus

Only one thing is needed
And it cannot be taken away
You speak words that give me life
Tell me what You have to say
And I'll stay

Verse 2

I stop and rest
Because You've told me this is best
It's You that gives me daily bread
But what I eat
Is not the food I truly need
I do not live by bread alone

Tag

Speak Lord
Your servant is listening
Speak Lord
Your servant is here
