Capo = 5th fret

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

                      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.
