I lay my life down at your feet,
'cause your the only one I need.
I took to You and You are always there

In troubled times its You I seek,
I put You first that's all I need.
I humble all I am all to You
(Here we go!)

One Way, Jesus, You're the only one that I could live for
One Way, Jesus, You're the only one that I could live for

You are always always there,
Every how and everywhere
Your grace abounds so deeply within me

You will never ever change,
Yesterday today the same.
Forever till forever meets no end

(Here we go!)

One Way, Jesus, You're the only one that I could live for
One Way, Jesus, You're the only one that I could live for
