[Chorus]
You're all I need, every breath you breathe through me
You're all I need, let the rivers flow through me

You're all I need [Repeat: x4]

[Chorus]
[Repeat: x2]
He said if I be lifted I'll draw all men to me
You're my closest friend, in you I live, have my being
I wanna draw closer
(Need to draw closer)
I wanna draw closer to Thee, To Thee

[Chorus]

I need you [Repeat: x3]
You're all I need





I need you [Repeat: x3]
You're all I need

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Hezekiah Walker's "You're All I Need" express a deep desire and need for God's presence in the singer's life. In the chorus, the singer acknowledges that God is everything to him, literally "all I need." And as such, the singer invites God's spirit to "breathe through me" and "let the rivers flow through me," emphasizing a willingness to surrender to God's will and be spiritually filled.


But the song also acknowledges the challenge of maintaining a close relationship with God, and the singer expresses the desire to "draw closer" to God. The repetition of "I wanna draw closer" and "To Thee" in the second verse highlights this desire to be in communion with God. The lyrics also draw on Biblical references, such as the line "He said if I be lifted I'll draw all men to me," which is a reference to John 12:32, where Jesus says that when he is lifted up on the cross, he will draw all people to himself.


Overall, "You're All I Need" is a powerful expression of a personal relationship with God, emphasizing both the deep need for God's presence and the challenge of maintaining that connection through prayer and surrender.
