Everybody I know says they need just one thing And what they really mean is 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 1st & 3rd time) And the pure in heart shall see God Refrain: 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 Chorus Every night, every day, You hold on tight or you drift away And you're left to live with the choices you make O Lord please give me strength to watch and work and love and sing and pray REFRAIN Chorus TAG (repeat and fade out) One thing, You're my one thing, pure in heart, pure in heart, one thing
