One
Rebecca St. James Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Tell me can I get a witness here
Listen up while the music's pumpin'
Come on everybody gather 'round
Tell me what He's done in your life
If you want to make a difference here
If you're ready to believe in something
Then let me hear you say "Oh"
We know He'll be with us wherever we go
And we're standing here as one I know
We come together
To lift His praises tonight
And when we do
You know we're doing right
Don't make no difference
Where we're coming from
We believe in the Son
And that's what makes us one
Let me tell you it's a brand new day
Every color every nation
Old things are passed away
It's just a freedom you know
You can feel it in a whole new way
If He's making you a new creation
Then let me hear you say "Oh"
What we share is a bond that nobody can break
No they can't take that away I know
We come together
To lift His praises tonight
And when we do
You know we're doing right
Don't make no difference
Where we're coming form
We believe in the Son
And that's what makes us one
We are one in the Spirit
We are one in the Lord
We are one in the Spirit
One in the Lord
We are one in the Spirit
We are one in the Lord
We believe in the Father
We believe in the Son
And that's what makes us one
We come together
To lift His praises tonight
And when we do
You know we're doing right
Don't make no difference
Where we're coming form




We believe in the Son
And that's what makes us one
