Father if we were all to be honest
What would our greatest need consist of?
Wouldn’t we say, if we were all honest
Simply our greatest need is to be loved?
From the strong and stable man to the single minded woman
To the man not even sure he is a man
To the lonely hurting children to the old, abandoned soul
We need love to make us whole

To be loved is like a harbor in a storm
To be anchored so securely at the heart you can’t be torn
To be loved is just what every heart would give
their life to be
Held just once by One who would not leave
To be loved is what we need

Only one love is totally true love
Bearing my sin, bearing my pain!
Only one love could ever be true love
Others will fail, but this love will remain!
Through the fiery trials of life
Through the endless days of prison
Through the darkness of rejection’s blinding rain
Through the days we hurt so badly and we seem to cry in vain
Jesus’ love will still remain!
