(intro) 

G                  C 
did not catch her name, 
                   D 
did not catch her tears. 
                  Em 
it hit me like a train 
                      G 
when her story hit my ears. 
                 C 
mother of eight sons, 
                D 
father off to war, 
                Em 
got no home address – 
                         D 
just bricks on a dirt floor. 
            C               G 
she said, "Jesus is all I need." 

              C 
tiny plot of land, 
                   D 
corn stored up in piles. 
                  Em 
years it doesn't rain... 
                              G 
they just stay hungry for a while. 
                   C 
no fatted calf to kill, 
                             D 
she made a feast of cuy and corn. 
                            Em 
she said, "who else knew my name 
                           G 
before the day that i was born? 
  C              G 
Jesus is all i need 
 Am7     C      G 
Jesus is all i need." 

                        C 
she bragged about her boys – 
                          D 
how they're growin' into men, 
                                Em 
how they learned to praise the Lord, 
                  G 
old style ecuadorian. 
                    C 
to buy the new guitar 
                      D 
she had to sell the swine. 
                        Em                        G 
said, "my boys go to school on a foreign angel's dime. 

D                     G 
this world calls me poor, 
           D                G 
i bore my babies on this floor. 
D              G 
He always provides 
             C 
sure as the sun will rise. 
         A                  Em 
so i'll sing Him songs of praise 
          A                          C 
'cause i know He'll keep me in His gaze." 

( G      A    Em ) 

( A    Em    A ) 

                      C 
rain poured from the sky, 
                      D 
we raced back to the van. 
                         Em 
there were tears in the eyes 
                         G 
of this poor, forgetful man. 
                 C 
mother of eight sons, 
                        D 
she knows the peace of God. 
                         Em 
Lord, help me learn to lean 
                      G 
on Thy staff and Thy rod. 
C                G 
Jesus is all I need, 
Am7       C     G 
Jesus is all I need.
