To no other God but You alone
Lord, I will worship You
Nothing hands have made but You alone
I will lay down my idols
Thrones I have made
All that has taken my heart
Lord, I will bow to You
To no other God but You alone
Lord, I will bow to You
To no other God but You alone
Lord, I will worship You
Nothing hands have made but You alone
I will lay down my idols
Thrones I have made
All that has taken my heart
Lord, I will bow to You
To no other God but You alone
I will lay down my idols
Thrones I have made
All that has taken my heart
Lord, I will bow to You
To no other God but You alone
I will lay down my idols
Thrones I have made
All that has taken my heart
Lord, I will bow to You
To no other God but You alone
Lord, I will bow to You
To no other God but You alone
