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 
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? 
Jesus is all I need 
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 
They had to sell the swine 
Said, "My boys go to school on a foreign angel's dime. 
This world calls me poor 
I bore my babies on this floor 
He always provides 
Sure as the sun will rise. 
So I'll sing Him songs of praise 
'Cause I know He'll keep me in His gaze." 

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 
Jesus is all I need 
Jesus is all I need
