All I Want
Michael W. Smith's song 'All I Want Is You' expresses a deep, personal devotion to God. The lyrics convey that the singer's only possession of true value is God's presence, described as 'fire from above.' The song emphasizes a desire for faithfulness and a longing to be a friend of God. It reflects a heart that has been transformed by divine love and now seeks nothing more than to remain close to God. The repeated refrain 'All I want is you' underscores a singular focus on God as the ultimate treasure and the only thing worth pursuing.
All I have in this world
Is fire from above
All I have in this world
Is you
And all the journeys I have walked
I know you've walked them too
All I want is to be faithful
All I want is you
All I have is a love
That set my world on fire
Let it fall, let it burn in me
And oh to be a friend of God is all that I desire
All I want is to be faithful
All I want is you
All I want is you
All I want is you
All I want is you
Is you
All I have in this world
Is fire from above
All I have in this world
Is you
And all the journeys I have walked
I know you've walked them too
All I want is to be faithful
All I want is you
All I want is you
All I want is you
Da...oh oh oh
All I want is you
Is you
