I come in to meet You in our special place
To get alone with You oh
You're the only One my heart beats for
I fell in love with You
When I was just a child I even knew
Back then You were my bestfriend by far
Everything deep within me honors You
I'm grateful that I know the truth
For You are God, God alone
You're the only One my heart beats for
I asked You in my heart
You came in and saved my life forgave me
Of all my sins and now I owe You
You're the only One my heart beats for
[Bridge]
No matter where I go or what I do
Your love is there to guide me
And if this world should pass
I know Your love will find me,ohhhhh
I'm happy that You gave me peace
Because I trust Your arms to hold me
When I'm weak, You're always strong
You're the only One my heart beats for
You're the only One

Help me share with others all about You
And what we have so they
Can experience this love and know why
You're the only One my heart beats for
Time cannot endure
Your word,Your promises are sure
You promise paradise with You
Oh You're the only One my heart beats for
My heart beats for
Oh You're the only One my heart beats for
