1.
All I need is to see my Jesus.
All I need is to leave behind the fleeting pleasures of this world.
All I need is to go to the city
That God Himself has built,
And live there forever with Him.
2.
Once I lay dead
In a dark pit of sin.
But He lifted me out of that place
And has kept me standing until today.
Now Christ Jesus has become my firm and unshakable Rock.
3.
Here I live like a stranger and a foreigner.
This earthly home is only a temporary lodging.
Even if I have no one here to support me,
It is enough for me to be united with Jesus,
For He is my companion and my strength.
4.
Every day, as long as my Beloved gives me life,
I will lift high the banner of the Gospel in this world.
I long to live in the unshakable kingdom.
All I need is for my Bridegroom to come.
5.
Jesus suffered for me
So that I could stand spotless and radiant
In His holy presence.
His body was weary,
His hands and feet were pierced,
His side was wounded,
His eyes filled with tears,
And His heart was full of compassion.
6.
With a heart full of hope,
I wait each day, remembering His promise.
May He keep me by the Holy Spirit
Until I rise and fly to heaven
And dwell there with Him.
