All I Need (Did Not Catch Her Name) by "Caedmon's Call"
Capo = 5th fret
Gdid not catch her nCame, 
did not catch her tDears. 
it hit me like a tEmrain
when her story hit my Gears.
mother of eight sCons, 
father off to waDr, 
got no home addrEmess –
just bricks on a dirt floDor. 
she said, "JCesus is all I neGed."
tiny plot of lCand, 
corn stored up in pDiles. 
years it doesn't rEmain... 
they just stay hungry for a whGile. 
no fatted calf to kCill, 
she made a feast of cuy and cDorn. 
she said, "who else knew my Emname 
before the day that i was bGorn? 
JeCsus is all i neGed
JAm7esus is Call i nGeed." 
she bragged about her boCys –
how they're growin' into mDen, 
how they learned to praise the LEmord,
old style ecuadoriGan.
to buy the new guitaCr 
she had to sell the swDine. 
said, "my boys go to schEmool on a foreign angel's dGime. 
Dthis world calls me poGor, 
i bore my bDabies on this floGor. 
DHe always proviGdes 
sure as the sCun will rise. 
so i'll sAing Him songs of prEmaise 
'cause i kAnow He'll keep me in His gaCze." 
G      A    Em
A    Em    A
rain poured from the sCky,
we raced back to the vDan. 
there were tears in the eEmyes 
of this poor, forgetful mGan. 
mother of eight sCons, 
she knows the peace of GDod.
Lord, help me learn to leEman
on Thy staff and Thy rGod.
CJesus is all I neGed,
Am7Jesus is aCll I nGeed.

All I Need (Did Not Catch Her Name) by "Caedmon's Call"

Capo = 5th fret

G C

did not catch her name,

did not catch her tears.

it hit me like a train

when her story hit my ears.

mother of eight sons,

father off to war,

got no home address –

just bricks on a dirt floor.

C G

she said, "Jesus is all I need."

tiny plot of land,

corn stored up in piles.

years it doesn't rain...

they just stay hungry for a while.

no fatted calf to kill,

she made a feast of cuy and corn.

she said, "who else knew my name

before the day that i was born?

C G

Jesus is all i need

Am7 C G

Jesus is all i need."

she bragged about her boys –

how they're growin' into men,

how they learned to praise the Lord,

old style ecuadorian.

to buy the new guitar

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

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

A Em A

rain poured from the sky,

we raced back to the van.

there were tears in the eyes

of this poor, forgetful man.

mother of eight sons,

she knows the peace of God.

Lord, help me learn to lean

on Thy staff and Thy rod.

C G

Jesus is all I need,

Am7 C G

Jesus is all I need.
