Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Bob Fitts's song "One God" are an expression of faith in monotheism, which is the belief in one supreme being or God. The phrase "Hear O Israel, the Lord thy God is one God" is a proclamation of the Jewish Shema, which serves as one of the most fundamental prayers in Judaism, signifying the absolute unity of God. The repetition of this phrase along with the instruction to love the Lord with all our hearts and might, highlights the importance of devotion, humility, and obedience in worshiping God. By recognizing that there is no other savior, and no other life redeemer, the song emphasizes the exclusivity of God's power, therefore calling for reverence, gratitude and trust in His mercy.


Furthermore, the refrain of "Hallelujah!" is a statement of praise and celebration, as well as a declaration of adoration for God's majesty and supremacy. The use of the collective voice in the repetition of the phrase "Hear O Israel" is an indication of the song's universality, calling for all believers to join in the worship of the one true God. In essence, the song is a call to action, an invitation to all of us to embrace the unity and greatness of God, and to worship and serve Him wholeheartedly.
