What I Need Lyrics - Collin Raye

(Karen Taylor-Good/Jason Blume) 

I knew all the answers 

The way my life should go 

And when I used to say my prayers 

I would tell God so 

It seemed He wasn't listening 

I thought He didn't care 

But lookin' back 

It's plain to see 

He was always there

'Cause I prayed for strength 

And I got pain that made me strong 

I prayed for courage 

And got fear to overcome 

When I prayed for faith 

My empty heart brought me to my knees 

I don't always get what I want 

I get what I need 

I'm not sayin' that it's easy 

Or that it doesn't hurt 

When nothing seems to go my way 

Nothing seems to work 

These days I'm getting better 

At goin' with the flow 

Accepting that sometimes the answer 

To a prayer is no

'Cause I prayed for strength 

And I got pain that made me strong 

I prayed for courage 

And got fear to overcome 

When I prayed for faith 

My empty heart brought me to my knees 

I don't always get what I want 

I get what I need 

Every time I've had a door slammed in my face 

In time a better one was opened in its place 

I prayed for strength 

And I got pain that made me strong 

I prayed for courage 

And got fear to overcome 

When I prayed for faith 

My empty heart brought me to my knees 

I don't always get what I want 

I get what I need 

Oh I don't always get what I want 

I get what I need
