Recently when my wife was out of town, I took the kids to see Andrew Peterson play some music.  My AP concert attendance has been unfortunately lagging in 2008, and I was finally able to hear some songs from the new CD (which releases October 21).

One of the songs that really jumped out at me was called “All You’ll Ever Need” and was a song originally started by the amazing Ben Shive and was finished with the help of Andrew and Andy Gullahorn.  Now, I know I’m pretty biased when it comes to my music recommendations, but when you combine the songwriting skills of those 3 guys, you’re in for something special.

Andrew sent me the lyrics and was gracious enough to let me post them here.  Check this out, wipe up the drool on your keyboard, and then wait with me in anticipation of October 21.

All You’ll Ever Need
Words and Music by Andrew Peterson, Ben Shive, and Andy Gullahorn
2 Kings 4:1-7
2 Kings 5:1-13
1 Kings 20:18-39

The blood of Jesus, it is like the widow’s oil:
it’s enough to pay the price to set you free.
It can fill up every jar and every heart that ever beat.
When it’s all you have it’s all you’ll ever need.

The blood of Jesus, it is like the leper’s river
running humble with a power you cannot see.
Seven times go under, let the water wash you clean.
Only go down to the Jordan and believe.
Only go down in the Jordan and believe.

And I need it, I need it.
The closer that I grow, the more I come to know
how much I need it.

The blood of Jesus it is like Elijah’s fire,
falling on the altar of your faith.
All the wisdom of the world could never conjure up a spark,
but no power of Hell could ever quench this flame.
No power of Hell could ever touch this flame.

And I need it, I need it.
The closer that I grow, the more I come to know
how much I need the blood of Jesus.

The blood of Jesus, it is like the widow’s oil:
when it’s all you have it’s all you’ll ever need.
It is all you’ll ever need.
