All I Need

I found myself one day in a conversation with God
We talked about small things like sports, style, health and the weather
He asked about my friends and what kinds of things we'd be doing
And then he asked about my life and what kinds of seeds I'd was sowing
And I confessed I wasn't sure
And he said, Maybe you should be sure

But all I really want from you is a warm embrace
A moment or two set aside some time together
Think of me as if I were always with you in that place
My child, all I need is your love

He said, Son I'm very proud of you
You've done most of what I've asked you to
And I fell to my knees
And said, Daddy listen to me please
I don't deserve it
I'm vain and unworthy
I lie and cheat and tend to be proud
I'm bitter and corrupt and at times I doubt that you're even there

And all I want to see is your face
Just for a moment to let me know one day we'll be together
You know how hard it can be living down here in this place
All I need is your love

And then he kissed me on the cheek
And he, he gave my hand a squeeze
And said, forget about the lies, forget about the cheating
Forget about unworthy, forget about deserving
Forget about corrupt, forget about the pride and the doubt
I knew that it would happen
And I forgive it all the same
I know that you aren't perfect
But you're still my child
Yes you're still my child

And all I want from you is a warm embrace
A moment or two, set aside, to spend some time toegether
Think about me as if I were always with you in that place
My child, all I need is your love
