Verse 1
In the midst of my toil and service
When my spirit is carried away
Keep me, Lord, from the work of the loveless
Call my name when my heart goes astray
Chorus
One thing is needed
Only to sit at His feet Only to see Him
Jesus is all that I need
Verse 2
There's no payment or off'ring required
No provision my hand must supply
Jesus, only myself You desire
Empty-handed I come to abide
Verse 3
When my efforts are lost to the ages
And all mem'ry of me is erased
I will sing of my portion in Jesus
Never-fading throughout endless days
Bridge
One thing I ask of You, Lord
To dwell in Your presence forever
One thing I ask of You, Lord
To gaze on Your beauty forever
