<\/a><\/p>\nIn my dream, I was sitting in our apartment in Massachusetts with an acoustic guitar, and I started fingerpicking on an A chord and singing a song. It was not a song I’d ever heard, but in the dream I knew the song, all the words, all the chords, the fingerpicking.<\/p>\n
Then as I reached the end of the first verse, suddenly I was sitting across from me with another guitar, and as the first me continued playing the fingerpicking chords and singing the second verse, the second me started playing a frilly lead over it.<\/p>\n
This continued through the bridge and into a third verse.<\/p>\n
Then I awoke, and wrote it all down. This vocals-over-midi-instruments<\/a> recording is essentially the song as I dreamed it.<\/p>\n I don’t know whether I have ever performed it, because I feel like the second guitar is a necessity and I can’t play both at once, but it’s a good song. Paul McCartney wrote one of his songs in a dream once; I can only hope that mine is as good as his.<\/p>\n All I Need<\/i><\/b><\/font>.<\/p>\n So here are the lyrics.<\/p>\n I lived a life of lonely misery, Give me this life, so I can truly know Growing daily in His word, Now I have found that Jesus knows the way *****<\/p>\n Previous web log song posts:<\/p>\n #301: The Song “Holocaust”<\/a><\/i> | #307: The Song “Time Bomb”<\/a><\/i> | #311: The Song “Passing Through the Portal”<\/a><\/i> | #314: The Song “Walkin’ In the Woods”<\/a><\/i> | #317: The Song “That’s When I’ll Believe”<\/a><\/i> | #320: The Song “Free”<\/a><\/i> | #322: The Song “Voices”<\/a><\/i> | #326: The Song “Mountain, Mountain”<\/a><\/i> | #328: The Song “Still Small Voice”<\/a><\/i> | #334: The Song “Convinced”<\/a><\/i> | #337: The Song “Selfish Love”<\/a><\/i> | #340: The Song “A Man Like Paul”<\/a><\/i> | #341: The Song “Joined Together”<\/a><\/i> | #346: The Song “If We Don’t Tell Them”<\/a><\/i> | #349: The Song “I Can’t Resist You’re Love”<\/a><\/i> | #353: The Song “I Use to Think”<\/a><\/i> | #356: The Song “God Said It Is Good”<\/a><\/i> | #362: The Song “My Life to You”<\/a><\/i> | #366: The Song “Sometimes”<\/a><\/i> | #372: The Song “Heavenly Kingdom”<\/a> | #378: The Song “A Song of Joy”<\/a><\/i> | #382: The Song “Not Going to Notice”<\/a><\/i> | #387: The Song “Our God Is Good”<\/a><\/i> | #393: The Song “Why”<\/a><\/i> | #399: The Song “Look Around You”<\/a><\/i> | #404: The Song “Love’s the Only Command”<\/a><\/i> | #408: The Song “Given You My Name”<\/a><\/i> | #412: The Song “When I Think”<\/a><\/i> | #414: The Song “You Should Have Thanked Me”<\/a><\/i> | #428: The Song “To the Victor”<\/a><\/i> | #433: The Song “From Job”<\/a><\/i> | #436: The Song “Trust Him Again”<\/a><\/i> | #438: The Song “Even You”<\/a><\/i> | #441: The Song “Fork in the Road”<\/a><\/i> | #442: The Song “Call to Worship”<\/a><\/i> | #445: The Song “How Many Times”<\/a><\/i> | #447: The Song “When I Was Lonely”<\/a><\/i> | #450: The Song “Rainy Days”<\/a><\/i> | #453: The Song “Never Alone”<\/a><\/i> | #455: The Song “King of Glory”<\/a><\/i> | #457: The Song “Greater Love”<\/a><\/i><\/i><\/p>\n\n\n Next Song: John Three<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" This is mark Joseph “young” blog entry #458, on the subject of The Song “All I Need”.

\nThinking that things were fine.
\nThat’s when a door sprang open unto me:
\nJoy could be truly mine.
\nJesus had come and died to set me free,
\nIf I would leave my life behind.
\nHe healed my eyes, and now they truly see–
\nEyes which were once so blind.<\/p>\n
\nWhat life is meant to be.
\nGive me this joy, and then just let me go
\nLiving so selfishly.
\nSurely I heard Him gently saying, no,
\nYou’ve got to give your life to me.
\nDie to yourself, and then you’ll start to grow
\nSlowly and painfully.<\/p>\n
\nServing Jesus as my Lord,
\nDoing all the things I’ve heard,
\nLoving–Jesus is adored.<\/p>\n
\nTo make my life complete,
\nAnd I am growing, changing ev’ry day
\nHe makes my life so sweet.
\nJesus, I’ll try to do the things you say,
\nAs on your word I daily feed.
\nHe came and took my misery away;
\nJesus is all I need.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
