I've found all I need in what You are

If I could have one hundred crowns

all decked with precious stones

if ten thousand queens of Sheba

brought me presents from afar                                                 

If I lived in perfect luxury 

with gold to flesh my bones

Lord these things could never make me

what You are

I could have the world's great scholars

with their intellect and fame

they'd teach me logic, they'd teach me science

they'd teach me how the flowers grow

I would have the best position

with wages I could name

but they could never teach me what You know

There's only one crown that I want

it's not decked with fancy jewels

no fine important persons

bring me presents from afar                                                           

I may live in humble dwellings

surrounded by life's fools

but I've found all I need in what You are

I've found the finest teacher                           

God sent You from above

and it's not with Earthly wisdom                   

that I'm taught

for I'm learning patience, kindness            

I'm learning tolerance and love

and with all the gold on Earth

that can't be bought

I could climb the highest mountains

search the heavens high above

I could sail the world's great seas

from shore to shore

never finding what I'm looking for

that sanctuary of love

For it's in God's house

and Jesus - You're the door
