Our Utmost Need

For all the things that we could ask

Of Thee, Father above

I pray that each one here below

May have someone to love

Oh Lord, to love and to be loved

Is our utmost need

Things cannot fill what true love will

So Lord, for love I plead

Abundant are life’s blessings, Lord

For which we give Thee thanks

But love and the sweet joy it brings

Fills in life’s wanton blanks

For all the things that we could ask

Of Thee Father above

I pray that there will be no one

Without someone to love
