All I Need
By Charles Price Jones (1908)
Lyrics
All I need, all I need,
He alone, is all my plea,
He is all I need.
Wisdom, righteousness and pow’r,
Holiness forevermore,
My redemption full and sure,
He is all I need.
All I need, all I need,
While He keeps I cannot fall,
He is all I need.
All I need, all I need,
I with Him was crucified,
He is all I need.
All I need, all I need,
He will not His servant leave,
He is all I need.
All I need, all I need,
He hath cleansed and made me whole,
He is all I need.
All I need, all I need,
By His Spirit sealed I am,
He is all I need.

About This Hymn
“All I Need” by Charles Price Jones is a deeply personal and devotional hymn expressing complete dependence on Jesus Christ for every aspect of life and salvation. Jones, a pastor, hymn writer, and holiness leader, penned this song out of a heart devoted to sanctification and full trust in Christ’s sufficiency. The words flow with humility and assurance, showing that Christ alone meets the needs of the soul in every circumstance.
The hymn moves through the spiritual journey of a believer, declaring that Jesus is not only the Savior from sin but also the sustainer, healer, and sanctifier. Each verse repeats the simple yet profound truth that “Jesus Christ is all I need.” This repetition reinforces faith and encourages the singer to rest in the completeness of Christ’s work. The message echoes the Apostle Paul’s confidence that all spiritual and temporal needs are met in Him who never fails.
Jones’s writing reflects his theology of holiness and his deep conviction that the Christian life is one of abiding in Christ’s power and grace. The hymn’s gentle melody and heartfelt simplicity have made it a beloved song in both church worship and personal devotion.
Through the lyrics, believers are reminded that every longing of the heart, every trial of life, and every need of the soul finds its answer in Jesus alone. “All I Need” continues to point worshipers to the sufficiency of Christ, who remains the unchanging source of strength, joy, and peace for all who trust in Him.
