Everybody I know says they need just one thing

And what they really mean is that they need just one thing more

And everybody seems to think they've got it coming

Well I know that I don't deserve You

Still I want to love and serve You more and more

You're my one thing



Save me from those things that might distract me

Please take them away and purify my heart

I don't want to lose the eternal for the things that are passing

'Cause what will I have when the world is gone

If it isn't for the love that goes on and on with



My one thing

You're my one thing

And the pure in heart shall see God

You're my one thing

You're my one thing

And the pure in heart shall see God



Who have I in Heaven but You Jesus?

And what better could I hope to find down here on earth?

I could cross the most distant reaches

Of this world, but I'd just be wasting my time

'Cause I'm certain already, I'm sure I'd find



You're my one thing (one thing)

You're my one thing (one thing)

And the pure in heart shall see God

You're my one thing (one thing)

You're my one thing (one thing)

And the pure in heart shall see God



Every night and every day

You hold on tight

Or you drift away

And you're left to live

With the choices you make

Oh Lord please give me the strength

To watch and work and love and sing and pray



'Cause who have I in Heaven but You Jesus?

And what better could I hope to find down here on earth?

Well I could cross the most distant reaches

Of this world, but I'd just be wasting my time

'Cause I'm certain already I'm sure I'd find



You're my one thin
