One Thing
Housefires Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
This one thing I seek
To dwell within your house
Everyday of my life
This one thing I ask
This only do I seek
To gaze upon your beauty
You are the one thing
You are the one thing that I need
You are the one thing
You are the one thing that I need
You give me eyes to see, eyes to see you
You give me ears to hear, ears to hear you
You give me a heart to know, a heart to know you
I wanna know you more, I wanna know you more
The lyrics of Housefires's song One Thing portrays a deep desire to seek after God and to dwell in His presence. The singer repeats the phrase “This one thing I ask, this one thing I seek” as a sign of persistent and unwavering pursuit of God. They express a longing to be in God’s house every day of their life, to gaze upon His beauty, to see and hear Him, to know Him more. The lyrics are a prayer that demonstrates a yearning for intimacy with God, acknowledging that He is the one thing the singer needs.
The song's message emphasizes the idea of prioritizing God above everything else, in the same way that the psalmist declared: “One thing I ask from the Lord, this only do I seek: that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to gaze on the beauty of the Lord and to seek Him in His temple” (Psalm 27:4). The singer acknowledges that God is the source of their eyes, ears, and heart, and longs to know Him more. It is a powerful reminder to focus on God as the one true priority to pursue in life.

I listen to Kirby Kaple for she worships God with all her heart.
She isn't trying to make a name for herself but she us lifting up the name above all names....JESUS.
Innocent, pure and beautiful that surely the angels in heaven have joined in with her 😊
Naomi Raine and Kirby Kaple enter into HIS PRESENCE and God is well pleased.
Thank you.

I only knew a couple of songs and then I saw Housefires at Holy Trinity in London a few years ago and they almost literally took the roof off that ancient building. I remember then thinking how Kirby is a true gift from God. And that hasn’t changed a sit here watching in Perth Australia on the other side of the world.
