Give me neither poverty nor riches Give me just the sustenance I need Lest I become rich, I would forget you Lest I become poor, then I would steal Give me just your sovereign hand to guide me Give me strength to walk where you will lead Let me rest beneath your strong protection You are my provision and my shield This world has nothing for me This world has nothing for me This world has nothing for me You are all I need You have turned my poverty to riches
Found me as an orphan, took me in Brought me as a beggar to your table Offered me the cup that covers sin You have given me this rich abundance More than I could ask for in this life Those I dearly love, they still surround me And my God is ever by my side In plenty, in hunger, you are all I need In sorrow, in laughter, you are all I need In triumph, in failure, you are all I need In this life and after, you are all I need
