1 On the cross my Savior died,
All I need, all I need;
With my Lord identified,
Christ is all I need.

Chorus:
Pardon, purity and pow’r,
Perfect peace each day and hour,
Hope of life forevermore—
Christ is all I need.

2 He redeemed me from the fall,
All I need, all I need;
He is now my All in all,
Christ is all I need. [Chorus]

3 Healing in His blood I find,
All I need, all I need;
Strength for body, ease for mind,
Christ is all I need. [Chorus]

4 As a branch is to the vine,
All I need, all I need;
I am His, and He is mine,
Christ is all I need. [Chorus]

5 He imparts the Holy Ghost,
All I need, all I need;
Saved unto the uttermost,
Christ is all I need. [Chorus]

6 Laud His name thro’ endless days,
All I need, all I need;
Sing His everlasting praise,
Christ is all I need. [Chorus]
