Casting Crowns’ ‘You Are The Only One’ takes up the theme proclaimed by Peter that salvation is found only in Jesus Christ: ‘Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to mankind by which we must be saved.’ (Acts 4:12) Contrasting the desperate situations we find ourselves in with the hope that comes into our lives when Jesus is present, the song reminds us that God is the only One who can calm every storm, right every wrong and set us free.
‘One more mother with a broken heart
One more family is torn apart
One more orphan out in the cold
One more fear that takes control
One more tangled in the same old lies
One more shackled to the same old highs
One more scared of what tomorrow brings
And one more chasing yesterday
Lord, let Your kingdom come.
Who can right every wrong?
You are the only One.
Who can calm every storm?
You are the only One.
You alone are Father, Saviour, Spirit, Healer, Redeemer
Lord of all
You are the only One
One more sceptic to believe
One more prisoner has been set free
One more longs to be Your hands and feet
One more standing for the least of these
One more praying in the morning light
One more shining in the darkest night
One more life worth fighting for
No greater love worth dying for
Lord, let Your kingdom come
Lord, let Your will be done
I want to know You more
I want to make You known
I want this world to see
That You’re alive in me
Jesus, You’re the only One.’ (‘You Are The Only One’, Casting Crowns)
