The Only One I Need

Oh Lord my God, the beauty
of your word is my spirits
strength and its radiance
fills my heart with bliss

You have left me breathless
sweeping my heart away, whom
shall I love in my life but
you, for you alone bring me
joy

Whom shall I embrace each day
when you alone can satisfy
my thirst, and by your daily bread
my hunger is always stilled

I only stand because your power
lifted me, I bow down to you
because your grace has saved me
blessing my life in an awesome way

Whom shall I honor this day,
only you shall be honored with
my hearts praise, I shall declare
to all who live in this world

Always reminding them of your
wonderful majesty and the
heavenly grace of the only
one who can save

You alone can renew life
and my very breath is yours,
as my love belongs to you
and it is you alone I seek
to serve.

If I turn away from you Lord,
I will surely suffer immensely,
and I would soon pass away
because I need your spirit to
live

You are life to me, and the
touch of your spirit daily
fills me with your awesome
kiss of love

When it comes to your greatness
I am always moved to tears as my
heart and spirit are greatly humbled,

Finding I cannot exist without
your great love, for throughout
the passing moments of my day
I am made to see my Lord Jesus,
that you alone are the only One
I need.
