One Desire
Hillsong Live Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
My soul desire, my everything
And all I am is devoted to You
How could I fail to see
You are the love that rescued me
And all I am is devoted to You
Lord here with You
So have Your way in me
Cause Lord, there is just one thing
That I will seek
This is my cry
My one desire
Is to be where You are, Lord
Now and forever
It's more than a song
My one desire
Is to be with You
Is to be with You, Jesus

The declaration that โall I am is devoted to Youโ implies that this rescue was transformative and all-encompassing, with the singerโs entire identity and existence now wholly dedicated to Christ.

I'm still listening to this song everytime na nagsusuffer ako sa depression, God is Good and now unti-unti na akong gumagaling
@dmagpayo1
Actually lahat nararanasan yan dahil sa nangyayari satin ngayon(mental health) Ako sobrang nakaka down kase nawalan ka nang trabaho di mo alam pano ka makakatulong sa pamilya espcially sa mama ko and sa magiging baby ko yubg tipong, wala ka magawa ang hirap pero ika nga nila di tayo bibigyan nang pagsubok nang panginoon na di natin kayang lampasan. Always trust God. ๐โ๏ธ

@Evangeline Grace God is giving you this chance para mas makilala mo pa sya at mas makita mo ang pagmamahal na kaya nyang ibigay sayo, maybe no one is there to understand you but always remember that God is always with you.
