Have Plenty Lyrics by Timothy Welbeck

Shades of Grace

2010

[Verse 1: Timothy Welbeck (formerly known as Red Baron)]
It would seem the life we most want is the one we don’t live
We throw fits jonesing to keep up with the Jones
And shape our lives, to live the way the Jones live
We want the Jones’ home, we want the Jones’ kids
We don’t know who a Jones is
Yet we cleave to the hope that what’s theirs is ours for us to go get
And when we go get, all of the things the Jones get
It will be the very day that all of our goals end
But there is no end to this most embarrassing pursuit
When I am only doing better when I’m doing better than you
We forgot it’s our possessions that are weighing us down
They leave a burden on our shoulders and keep our feet on the ground
But we lay our dreams in nests, knowing in fact
They hatch, then they go and take an orbital path
Fall and crash, then begin eluding our grasp
We may get what we reached for, but we lose what we had
What do you have
[Hook: Tomeka Carroll]
We have what we don’t want
We want what we don’t have
With you I have everything I need
I have plenty, I have plenty (repeat)
[Verse 2: Timothy Welbeck (formerly known as Red Baron)]
I’m told our days are often full, but are rarely fulfilling
Rarely are thrilling, you can say that barely we’re living
Running endlessly to stack all of our cares to the ceiling
We’re obsessed with what cherish and cherish what we are getting
Forgetting none of it was with us there in the beginning
And forgetting none of it will be with us there in the ending
We brought nothing into this world, we take so much from it
It is ours for a moment, then the generation coming
But we pass pieces of earth, believing the grass is greener
We're not glad for what we have, not even glad for we were
Imprisoned in picket fences, we never see and believe
We risk what’s most important for the more fleeting of things
Knowing the richest is the one who has the need of the least
If I have need of anything, I have need of the King
Even when what I want isn’t even within my reach
It is with Him I have everything that I need
I have plenty
[Hook: Tomeka Carroll]
We have what we don’t want
We want what we don’t have
With you I have everything I need
I have plenty, I have plenty (repeat)
[Outro: Tomeka Carroll]
With you I have everything that I need
You are the air I breathe, the life I lead
I love you, I love you
I need you, I thank you
For everything You’ve done for me
Lord I give You everything
