One Thing
Discovering True Wealth: The One Thing That Fulfills the Soul
Lyrics
You don't really know what you need
You are uncertain about your true needs.
And you've got nothing
You currently possess nothing.
You don't really know what you believe
Your beliefs are unclear to you.
And you've been broken
You have experienced emotional pain and suffering.
You don't really know what you treasure now
You are unaware of what you truly value until you lose it.
Till it all comes crashing down
Realization hits when everything falls apart.
I can see so clearly now
Clarity dawns on the speaker.
If I've got nothing but You
If the speaker has nothing but God,
I'll still have everything I need
They still have everything they need.
You're the one thing I can't loose
God is the indispensable element in the speaker's life.
When I've run to the end of me
When the speaker is at their limit,
Everything I though I lost
They discover they haven't truly lost everything.
I found it all in You, my God
The speaker finds completeness in God.
You're the one thing, one thing
God is the singular essential thing.
One thing, one thing I need
Reiteration of the singular importance of God.
All of the want and all the plans
All desires and plans pursued by the speaker.
I've been chasing
The speaker has been chasing these desires.
All of the dreams in my heart
The dreams held in the speaker's heart.
You can take them
Even these dreams are surrenderable to God.
Cuz all of the beauty starts to fade
Beauty fades in the absence of God.
In a light of just one place
True beauty is found in the presence of God.
I can see so clearly now
Clarity is emphasized again.
If I've got nothing but You
If the speaker has nothing but God,
I'll still have everything I need
They still have everything they need.
You're the one thing I can't loose
God is irreplaceable in the speaker's life.
When I've run to the end of me
When the speaker is depleted,
Everything I though I lost
They realize they haven't truly lost everything.
I found it all in You, my God
The speaker finds completeness in God.
You're the one thing, one thing
Reiteration of the singular importance of God.
One thing
(Empty line, potentially for emphasis or reflection.)
My soul will cry
The speaker's soul will express a deep need.
This one thing I know
The certainty of this one thing is known to the speaker.
You will only satisfy
God alone can satisfy the speaker.
If I've got nothing but You
If the speaker has nothing but God,
I'll still have everything I need
They still have everything they need.
You're the one thing I can't loose
God is the irreplaceable element in the speaker's life.
When I've run to the end of me
When the speaker is at their limit,
Everything I though I lost
The speaker finds completeness in God.
I found it all in You, my God
Reiteration of the singular importance of God.
You're the one thing, one thing
(Reiteration of the singular importance of God.)
One thing, one thing I need
-The one thing I need
God is the one essential thing the speaker needs.
