02 Eric Hollingsworth - All I Ever Needed
Philippians 3:8, What is more, I consider everything a loss compared to the surpassing greatness of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whose sake I have lost all things. I consider them rubbish, that I may gain Christ.
I'm a born again Christian writing music that (I hope) encourages and ministers to the body of Christ.
Story behind the song
This song is about the revelation of Christ satisfies our hungers in life. After coming to Christ, I had a paradigm shift that rearranged everything that was important to me so that Christ was all satisfying.

ALL I EVER NEEDED
Words and Music by: Eric J. Hollingsworth
INTRO: E, A B, C#m7, B, A
VERSE 1:
E A B
I was chasing the same old dreams
C#m7 B A
Had it planned out from A to Z
E A B
I was working my own designs
C#m7 B A
Trying to forge my own legacy
PRECHORUS 1:
F#m G#m A
All of my life
E B A
I’ve waited for my chance to shine

But now the glory’s not mine
CHORUS:
E B
Who would have ever thought
C#m7 A
All I ever needed was God
E B C#m7 A
In my life, in my life
E B
Who would have ever known
C#m7 A
All I ever wanted was at the Throne
E B C#m7 A
Of Christ, of Christ
VERSE 2:
E
So here I am
A
A brand new man
B
Sojourning a foreign land
C#m7 B A
A stranger passing by
E
All that I’ve got
A
I count as loss
B
In the shadow of the Cross
C#m7 B A
Compared to knowing Christ
PRECHORUS 2:
F#m G#m A
Now that I’ve found
E B A
The only way up is down
A B
I’ve got my head in the clouds with my feet on the ground
CHORUS:
E B
Who would have ever thought
C#m7 A
All I ever needed was God

All I ever wanted was at the Throne
E B C#m7 A
Of Christ, of Christ

And I thank You Holy Father

For all that You have done

For You so loved this world
C#m7 B
That You gave Your only Son
CHORUS:
E B
Who would have ever thought
C#m7 A
All I ever needed was God
E B C#m7 A
In my life, in my life
E B
Who would have ever known

All I ever wanted was at the Throne
E B C#m7 A
Of Christ, of Christ
