Lyrics
Thats All I Ask Chorus: I cant trade Your presence for silver or gold No treasure on Earth can carry my soul. Let me praise You as long as I breathe Thats all I ask, thats all I need. Take the world, but never this flame, O Holy Father You are my Rock and my strength. Let me praise You as long as I breathe Thats all I ask, thats all I need. Verse 1: If You take away my voice, what else would I give? 'Cause all my songs were born from the life You let me live. Even when I wandered far, chasing hollow things, You were there, just watchingstill the King of kings. I thought I didnt need You, tried to stand alone, But You kept pouring love when my heart was stone. So patient through my pride, my silence, and my fall You never turned away, You just loved through it all. *Chorus* Verse 2: If You take away the gift, the melody inside, What would I have left to show the One who always guides? When I was blinded by the lies that dressed like light, You still held me gently through the longest night. Ive seen the rise and ruin of all that doesnt last, But still You stood unshaken, forgiving my past. So if there's one thing I pray You'll never remove, Let it be my song for Youmy offering, my truth. *Chorus* Copyright 2025 Richard Shekari Written, produced and performed by Richard Shekari
