My One Thing

Drawn into the Heart of the Father

You made me
You formed me
You breathed life into me
You created me to need you
You kept me when I was lost
You see me when others do not
You protected me when others would harm me
What the enemy’s used to destroy me, you’ve used to refine me

You know me, every inch,
The visible and hidden
You draw me
You wash me from the filth
You are jealous for me, for all of me
You burn out my impurities
You won’t let hate or jealousy stay in me
When I’m full of myself, you empty me
When I humble myself, you exalt me
When I’m wrong, you make me confess
You convict me without condemning me

You provide a way out
You build me up
You show me the way, for you are the way
You fill me with truth, for you are the truth
You show me eternal and abundant life, for you are that life
You lead me in peace
You are my safe place, my refuge
You are my potter; I am your clay
You take my ashes and give me beauty
You take my confusion and give me peace
You hold my heart during heartache
And when it’s heartbreak, you gather the pieces and make me new

You surround me with warriors of truth
You hide me under the shadow of your wing
You are the healer of my body,
You are my deliverer
You are my power to overcome
You are the love I am seeking
You are the soundness of my mind
You are the song I sing
You breathe peace into me in the midst of uncertainty
You make even the bad, work for my good

I can trust you
You never change
You never lie
You never leave
You never stop
Your love is forever
This love is everything I was created for
To receive it and to give it
I am yours, forever

I hear you calling me
I hear you drawing me
To you, Lord, I will come
With you, Lord, I will stay
You are my one thing
My heart is in your hands
I give you all of me
Every hope, every dream,
Every hurt and every fear
I lay at your feet

You cause me to arise in faith
In you I overcome
You cause me to walk upon the high places
You fill me with your spirit
Through you, I can do all things
You give me the victory
You plant dreams and visions in my heart
You bring them to pass

In your heart, I have found my home
With you I will stay
With you I will remain
With you I will abide

You, Jesus, are my one thing.
