Hillsong Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
One thing I seek
To gaze upon Your beauty
And Your majesty
God of my salvation
Lifter of my head
Teach me how to live oh Lord
In Your righteousness
So I pray to You
So I pray to You
[Chorus]
Lord Your name
Is higher than the heavens
Lord Your name
Is higher than all created things
Higher than hope
Higher than dreams
The name of the Lord
In the day of trouble
You cover me
In the secret place of refuge
Lord I will sing
So I pray to You
So I pray to You
[Chorus]
I will seek Your face
Call upon Your name Jesus
All I want is You
Jesus [Repeat: x3]
[Chorus: x 2]

One thing - Hillsong Worship
I tasted the world, seen more than
Enough, it’s promises fleeting.
Of water and wine I emptied the cup
And found myself wanting
But there is a well that never runs dry
The water of life, the blood of the Vine
And all I know is everything
I have means nothing
Jesus, if You’re not my one thing
Everything I need right now
All I need is You right now
Cuz all i want is
Everything you are and nothing
Jesus if you're not my one thing
Every thing to me right now
Just one thing I ask
And this I will seek, if
Only to know You
To be where You are and
Go where You lead, my God, I will follow
The things of this world, I’ve counted as loss
I lay it all down to take up this cross
And I’ll sing, Whoa, whoa
I want nothing but to know You and
Be with You, my God

Hoje foi um dia de resultados (difícil reconhecer algo que está ali a muito tempo).
Mesmo eu errante que sou, Deus tem suas maneiras de falar, e usou esse louvor 💓
🎶 "Tudo o que sei é que tudo que eu tenho não significa nada,
Jesus, se Tu não for minha única coisa
Tudo o que eu preciso bem agora
Tu És tudo que eu preciso bem agora
Só uma coisa que eu peço e isso buscarei
Se for só pra Te conhecer
Estar onde Tu estás e ir onde Tu conduzes
Meu Deus eu seguirei"🤲🏽

I, haven been to the church in 3 months due to some reasons..
i, haven been praying for so long...
i only seek for God when i need help from Him...
i almost forgotten that i am a child of God...
just yesterday, my friend shared this song and i realise that Daddy has always left the door open for me, He is waiting and waiting...for me to go home...
sorry, for being disobedient....thank you, Dad
...thank you, Hillsong worship.
God speaks to us through his words...He hopes that we can spend some time with Him so that we can listen...slow down your pace of life because when you make haste, you have a thought that you will reach your goal faster but eventually you will lose what you have had...
so dont forget to pick up daddy's call....
